Meet Our Tribal Arjuna Awardees Salima Tete, Hokato Sema

The two tribals will be conferred with the Arjuna Award for “Outstanding Performance in Sports And Games, 2024”. The Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports announced the National Sports Awards 2024 on Thursday. The Indian Tribal reports

Salima Tete

New Delhi

India’s first Olympics double medallist shooter Manu Bhaker, youngest-ever chess world champion D Gukesh, men’s hockey captain Harmanpreet Singh and para-athlete Praveen Kumar were on Thursday named recipients of this year’s Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award — the country’s highest sporting honour.

The Indian Tribal
Manu Bhaker And D Gukesh

The awardees will receive their awards from the President of India at a specially organized function at Rashtrapati Bhavan on January 17.

SALIMA TETE (JHARKHAND)

Belonging to the Khasi tribe and hailing from Barki Chanpi village in Jharkhand’s Simdega district, considered a hockey cradle, Tete was just 10 years old when her father, Sulakshan Tete, took her to the district hockey ground. Her raw talent impressed her coach Manoj Kondegi, who runs the Navyuvak Sangh sports club and organises regular matches for villages in the vicinity. 

The coach wanted Tete to be admitted to a sports academy to sharpen her skills. But Sulakshan Tete was only a marginal farmer and his wife, Subani, cooked midday meals at a local school. With a large family of five daughters and one son to consider, he was reluctant, considering the costs, though himself a hockey team player.

Kondegi, however, was not one to give up easily. He cajoled Sulakshan — promising everything free of cost — into admitting his daughter into the Residential Hockey Training Centre, Simdega. But despite her predilection for the game, it took Tete two years of hard work to make any headway. After representing sub-junior teams at the state and national levels, she was finally selected for the Indian camp in 2016 and never looked back.

Known for her fierce defending, 23-year-old Tete was the captain of the Indian junior squad that won silver medal at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires. She was part of India’s successful campaigns at the 2022 Women’s Asia Cup, where they finished third; in the FIH Hockey Women’s Pro League in 2021-22 where too they finished third and the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham, when India bagged the bronze medal. She was one of India’s standout players at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics wherein India finished fourth.

Led by Tete, recently India Women’s Hockey Team clinched their third Asian Champions Trophy title after defeating China in a tightly-contested final.

HOKATO SEMA (NAGALAND)

He is a living example of grit and determination. Hailing from the Sumi Naga tribe and a native of Dimapur, 41-year-old Sema is the first athlete from Nagaland to win a Paralympics medal. A former Army man, the shot-putter is a landmine blast survivor and scripted history at the Paralympics 2024 by clinching bronze for India in the men’s F57 category shotput final.

The Indian Tribal
Hokato Sema In Action

A native of Dimapur in Nagaland, Sema was a Havaldar in the Indian Army and lost his leg during an operation at the Line of Control in 2002 due to a landmine blast. Given the circumstances, he began his tryst with shot put. Sema was motivated by a senior army official at the Pune-based Artificial Limb Centre to take up shot put. He took up the sport in 2016 when he was 32 years old and began to compete in the National Para Championships in Jaipur in the same year. 

The Sumi Naga, also known as the Sema, are a major Naga tribe that primarily live in Nagaland. This Naga tribe is believed to have migrated from regions in modern-day Myanmar to Northeast India.

CM Naidu for 100 pc reservation to STs in tribal areas

In line with his election promise last year, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has said that his government was exploring ways to provide 100 percent reservation in Government jobs to locals in all the tribal areas of the State. In a review meeting on Tribal Welfare, there were discussions on steps to be taken to restore the GO No 3 which was struck down in 2020 by the Supreme Court. The GO issued in 2000 provided that all posts of teachers in the schools in the Scheduled Areas of the state will be filled only by the local Scheduled Tribe candidates. Outlining the history of reservation for tribals, Naidu noted that a 1986 GO had initially provided 100% quota for local tribals in teacher posts in agency areas. Legal challenges later prompted the issuance of GO No. 3 in 2000, which accounted for increased women’s reservation, and facilitated the allocation of approximately 4,626 teacher posts to tribals in agency areas.
