A  new  Scheme  called  'Khelo  India  -  National  Programme  for Development  of  Sports',  is  being  implemented  by  this  Ministry  as  a Central Sector Scheme from the financial year 2016-17. This Scheme, inter-alia,  provides  for  creation  of  sports  infrastructure  facilities, namely,  Synthetic  Athletic  Track,  Synthetic  Hockey  Field,  Synthetic Turf Football Ground, Multipurpose hall, Swimming pool, etc.

Schools under Central/ State Governments are one of the eligible entities  to  receive  grant  under  the  erstwhile  USIS  and  the  current Khelo  India  Scheme.
