## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR YOUTH AFFAIRS & SPORTS (COL. RAJYAVARDHAN RATHORE (RETD.))

- (a) Two  Centres  for  research  in  various  sports,  namely,  National Centre of Sports Sciences and Research (NCSSR) and National Centre for Sports Coaching (NCSC) are being established at Netaji Subhash National Institute of Sports (NSNIS), Patiala.
- (b)     (i) NCSSR would undertake performance enhancement of athletes in various  sports  through  the  use  of  sports  science,  basic  and  applied research in sports science, dissemination of sports science information, accreditation of testing  services  and  training  courses,  testing  and certification of food supplements/Indigenous preparations & rehabilitation of sports injuries, and supporting Sports Science Departments in select Universities and Sports Medicine  Departments in select Institutes/ Medical colleges.
- (ii) NCSC  would focus on enhancement of sports coaching education  in  various  sports  in  the  country  and  conducting  research  in technical, tactical and  skill  development  aspects  of  coaching  and training of athletes. It aims to produce competent and confident coaches for the sports sector.

The  proposed  duration  of  both  the  schemes  is  from  2017-18  to 2019-20.  For  NCSSR,  the  total  cost  of  the  proposed  scheme  would  be Rs.107  crore  for  the  Centre  at  Patiala  and  Rs.237  crore  for  support  to Sports Sciences and Sports Medicine Departments in selected Universities and Medical Colleges respectively. For NCSC, the proposed cost of the scheme is Rs.81 crore.

- (c)            In  the  Ministry  of  Youth  Affairs  and  Sports,  Olympians  & Paralympians are given direct recruitment as Assistant Coach (Group B) or  Coach  (Group  A-  Medal  winners)  by  Sports  Authority  of  India  (SAI) considering their achievement. In addition, all the coaches joining SAI are sports persons who have got medals either at National Competitions or Inter-university  competitions  or  some  of  them  have  represented  the country  in  various  international  tournaments.  During  the  last  03  years (2015-16,  2016-17  and  2017-18)  and  current  year,  175  sports  persons joined SAI as Assistant Coach/ Coach on regular basis whose names are attached  as  Annexure  -1.  Apart  from  the  Ministry  of  Youth  Affairs  and Sports, various other Ministries/Organizations including Railways, Defence,  Income  Tax  Department,  Banks,  ONGC,  IOC  etc.  offer  jobs  to meritorious sports persons. However, data in this regard is not available in this Ministry.

(d)  Sports  is  a  State  subject  and  conducting  sports  competitions  at school/college and block levels is primarily the responsibility of the State Governments.  The  Central  Government  complements/supplements  the efforts  of  the  State  Governments.  Accordingly,  this  Ministry  does  not maintain such records.
