Rashtriya Khel Protsahan Puraskar : To recognize the contribution made by sportspersons even after their retirement How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Explanation
Two pairs are correctly matched. Pair 1 is correct: the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna, India's highest sporting honour, is given for the most spectacular and outstanding performance by a sportsperson over the previous four years. Pair 3 is correct: the Dronacharya Award honours coaches who have trained sportspersons or teams to outstanding results in international events. Pair 2 is wrong: the Arjuna Award recognises good performance over the previous four years, together with leadership, sportsmanship and discipline; lifetime achievement had a separate award (the Dhyan Chand Award when the question was set). Pair 4 is wrong: the Rashtriya Khel Protsahan Puraskar goes to organisations, such as companies, sports boards and NGOs, for their contribution to promoting and developing sport, not to sportspersons after retirement.
