UP Police Sub-Inspector Asmita Dey Receives DGP Commendation Disc (Gold) for Sporting Excellence
Sub-Inspector Asmita Dey of Uttar Pradesh Police was honoured with the DGP Commendation Disc (Gold) at Police Headquarters on the occasion of the 80th Independence Day, in recognition of her achievements in sports. She was also presented with a commemorative memento as a special gesture of appreciation for the recognition she has brought to the police force and the state through her sporting performance.
The felicitation places the spotlight on a police officer who has managed to combine professional service with sporting excellence. According to the information shared at the event, Asmita Dey’s achievements have not only earned her personal recognition but have also reflected positively on Uttar Pradesh Police, highlighting what disciplined training and sustained commitment can deliver for athletes serving in uniform.
Her honour also comes against the backdrop of the Uttar Pradesh Government’s ‘Kushal Kheladi’ scheme, which aims to encourage and support talented sportspersons and create opportunities for them to excel while continuing to serve the state. In that context, the recognition serves as an example of how institutional backing can help athletes pursue high-level performance alongside their official duties.
The police department’s acknowledgement of Asmita’s sporting accomplishments also reflects the broader value of sportspersons in uniform, who often serve as visible examples of how fitness, discipline and competitive spirit can coexist with public service. Her recognition on Independence Day added a ceremonial dimension to that message, underlining the contribution such personnel make in inspiring younger athletes and strengthening the profile of Indian sport.
Those present at the occasion congratulated Asmita Dey for her achievements and wished her continued success in both her sporting career and her service with Uttar Pradesh Police.
