## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR YOUTH AFFAIRS & SPORTS (SHRI VIJAY GOEL)

- (a) & (b) Sports is a State subject  and promotion and development of sports in the States is primarily the responsibility of the State Government.  The  Central  Government  complements/supplements  the efforts of the State Governments.

A Centrally Sponsored Scheme, namely, Panchayat Yuva Krida Aur Khel  Abhiyan  (PYKKA)  was  being  implemented  during  the  period  from 2008-09 to 2013-14. Under PYKKA Scheme, sports competitions, namely, rural  sports  competitions,  women  sports  competitions  and  north  east games were conducted and playfields were developed in Village Panchayats  and  Block  Panchayats  all  over  India.  PYKKA  Scheme  was reviewed  and  renamed  as  Rajiv  Gandhi  Khel  Abhiyan  (RGKA),  also  a Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  and  was  implemented  during  the  period 2014-15 and 2015-16. Under RGKA  Scheme, besides rural sports competitions, women sports competitions and north east games, competitions in left wing extremism affected areas were also held.

Under  the  PYKKA  Scheme  funds  were  granted  to  States/UTs  for conducting various sports competitions and development and maintenance of playgrounds at Village and Block Panchayats. Under Rajiv Gandhi Khel Abhiyan (RGKA), there was provision for creation of sports infrastructure at block level and conduct of annual sports competitions.

Another  Scheme,  namely,  Urban  Sports  Infrastructure  Scheme (USIS) was being implemented for creation of Sports infrastructure in all the States/UTs all over India during the period from 2010-11 to 2015-16.

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  current  financial  year  2016-17.  This  Scheme provides for conducting sports competitions in two age groups of (i) under 14 and (ii) under 17 all over India to encourage mass participation of both boys  and  girls  in  Sports  and  creation  of  sports  infrastructure  facilities, namely, Synthetic Athletic Track, Synthetic Hockey Field, Synthetic Turf Football Ground, Multipurpose hall, Swimming pool, etc. This scheme is also applicable all over India.

All the above Schemes were/are demand driven schemes. Proposals, as and when received from States, if complete in all respects and technically feasible, are sanctioned subject to availability of funds. Funds are released to a State as and when the proposal for development of sports infrastructure is sanctioned to that State.

In  addition,  in  order  to  promote  sports  in  the  country,  Sports Authority of India (SAI) is implementing the following Sports Promotional Schemes to scout and nurture sports talent to compete at National and International level competitions.

-  National Sports Talent Contest Scheme (NSTC)
-  Army Boys Sports Company (ABSC)
-  SAI Training Centre (STC)
-  Special Area Games (SAG)
-  Extension Centre of STC/SAG
-  Centre of Excellence (CoE)
-  National Sports Academies (NSA)

For  this  purpose,  SAI  has  established  10  Regional Centres  and  02 educational  institutions  to  implement  the  above  sports  promotional schemes in the country through 290 SAI sports centres.  Presently, 13684 talented sports persons (9653 boys and 4032 girls) are being trained in 27 sports disciplines.

- (c) Details of funds released to States/UT for conducting sports competitions  and  development  of  sports  infrastructure  during  the  12th Five Year Plan (2012-13 to 2016-17) under PYKKA, RGKA, USIS and Khelo India are at Annexure - I.
- (d) The erstwhile PYKKA, RGKA and USIS and the current Khelo India Scheme were/are applicable to the whole of India covering all States/UTs. The sports infrastructure developed under these schemes are available to the  community  as  a  whole.  Hence,  it  is  not  possible  to  quantify  the number  of  sportspersons  who  have  benefitted  from  these  schemes. However,  2.08  crore  sportspersons  (1.15  crore  Boys  and  93  lakh  Girls) participated in the various competitions held under the erstwhile PYKKA and RGKA Scheme.
