In these six years, numerous budding players have drawn motivation from the SKJ Awards and gone on to deliver remarkable performances at both state and national levels. Today, the awards stand as a prestigious recognition in Rajasthan's women's cricket landscape, symbolizing a commitment to nurturing talent and celebrating success.
Celebrating Values Alongside Performance
The SKJ Awards are not just about rewarding performance but also about celebrating essential values such as sportsmanship, discipline, and dedication. Held annually on April 3, the ceremony has evolved into a festival of women's cricket in Rajasthan, bringing together the community to honor achievements and inspire future generations.
Looking Ahead to Future Growth
After six successful years, the SKJ Awards now step into their seventh year with renewed commitment.
