Read the following passage and answer the questions set on it:
Sporting fraternity and sports lovers across the country applauded and felt happy when president Pranab Mukherji handed over the prestigious Arjuna Awards to several eminent sports personalities at a glittering function in the national capital recently on the occasion of National Sports Day.
However, nobody perhaps would have given thought to the creator of the slick and wonderfully crafted trophies that dazzled in the hands of these well-known sporting icons. The unsung hero is Gajendra Prasad Sahu, a painter and sculptor based in Bhubaneswar.
The 53-year-old artist has been making the Arjuna Award trophies for the last five years. Not only Arjuna awards, but Sahu is also the creator of the well designed Dronacharya, Dhyan Chand and Tenzing Norgay trophies presented every year by the Union Sports and Youth Affairs Ministry to an eminent coach, an important hockey player and an individual for bravery respectively.
The turning point in Sahu’* life, however, came in 2009 when the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs decided to redesign the trophy for the popular and most sought after Arjuna Award for sporting icons and invited applications from artists across the country.
Sahu responded and sent the sketches of his designs which were approved by the Union Ministry. Once the preliminary sketches were okayed, he was summoned to New Delhi to submit his final design, which too, was approved and he was assigned the job of making the trophies for prestigious sports awards every year. He won the job despite the stiff competition from the individual as well as institutional competitors.
Interestingly, though Sahu creates the most coveted trophies for the Indian sports icons, he never had any personal interest in sports. His works of paintings have found a place in art galleries and exhibitions in different parts of the country.
