THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE)

- (a): Madam,  the  details  of  medals  won  by  Indian  athletes  in  multisports  events  including  athletic  events  during  last  three  years  and current year is given in annexure-I.
- (b)  &  (c):  'Sports'    being  a  State  subject,  primary  responsibility  for promotion and development of sports at the grassroot level by way of broad-basing of sports activities and creation of sports infrastructure and facilities  is  that  of  the  State  Governments  and  responsibility  for promotion and development of specific sports disciplines is that of the concerned National Sports Federations (NSFs). The role of the Central Government is to supplement the efforts of the State Governments and NSFs  and  adequate  support  is  given  to  the  sportspersons  including those of track events from the Scheme of Assistance to National Sports Federations, under which Government, inter-alia, provides assistance to the  identified  sportspersons/teams  for  intensive  coaching  through national coaching camps, foreign exposures / competitions, etc. In order to  give  focused  attention  for  better  performance  of  our  athletes  in international events including Olympic Games, Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports formulated a programme namely, Target Olympic Podium (TOP) Scheme with the aim to identify, groom and prepare potential medal prospects with funding from National Sports Development Fund (NSDF) which  is  continuing.  Under  the  TOP  Scheme,  financial  support  is provided for training, participation in competitions, purchase of equipment, availing of the services of support persons, etc. to athletes selected by the Committee constituted for the purpose. Besides, 'Out of Pocket  Allowance'  @  Rs.50,000/-  per  month  is  given  to  the  selected Athletes for meeting contingent and miscellaneous expenses. Presently,  196  athletes  including  31  track  &  field  event  athletes  are covered under the TOP Scheme for funding from NSDF.
- (d) & (e): Madam, Government has made adequate allocation of funds to promote sports in the country. To encourage sports for all thus allowing the population across gender and all age groups to harness the power of sports through its cross-cutting influence, namely, holistic development  of  children  &  youth,  community  development,  social integration, gender  equality, healthy  lifestyle, national  pride  and economic opportunities related to sports development, Government is implementing a Central Sector Scheme, namely, Khelo India - National Programme  for  Development  of  Sports.  This  was  revised  and  a revamped Khelo India Scheme is implemented from the year 2017-18. Rs.1756 crore is the estimated expenditure to be incurred under this scheme during the period from 2017-18 to 2019-20. Sports Authority of India  (SAI)  and  Lakshmibai  National  Institute  of  Physical  Education
