ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR YOUTH AFFAIRS & SPORTS { SHRI KIREN RIJIJU }

- (a)  Funds  are  allocated  by  this  Ministry  Scheme-wise,  not  State-wise.  The details of the funds allocated and expenditure incurred under various sports schemes  for  sports  infrastructure  facilities  and  promotion  of  sports  in

country, including rural areas, during the last three years and the current year are given at Annexure.

- (b) No, Sir.
- (c)  Yes,  Sir.  Elite  athletes  preparing  for  international  competitions  are provided with international standard State-of-the-art sports equipment and infrastructure besides services of Indian and foreign coaches and support staff as per specific requirement of the individual/team. Sports Authority of India (SAI) Headquarter provides good quality products/items to the Regional  Centres  across  the  country  for  training  of  players  and  National Campers. Special emphasis is  given  to  procure  best  sporting  goods/items available in the market as per specifications recommended by International Sports Federations. The sporting goods/items are procured as per the laid down procedure and as per demand received from elite players and National Sports Federations.

Further,  under  the  National  Sports  Development  Fund  (NSDF)  and  Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) athletes are provided financial assistance to  acquire  modern  sports  equipment  as  per  their  choice  to  promote excellence in sports.

- (d) Yes, Sir. Under the Scheme of Assistance to National Sports Federations, the identified promising athletes/teams are provided preparatory training at the National Coaching Camps, including wholesome nutritious diet, food supplements, equipments, state-of-the-art infrastructure,  lodging,  travelling  facilities,  services  of  reputed  Indian  and foreign  coaches/supporting  staff,  scientific  &  medical  support,  sports  kit, etc., besides financial assistance for their training abroad and participation in international competitions in India and abroad.
- (e)  No,  Sir.  Sports  being  a  State  subject,  the  primarily  responsibility  to undertake any study to assess deficiencies in sports infrastructure and the steps taken to correct them and improve India's performance in international events rests with the respective State/Union Territory Governments.  The  Union  Government  only  supplements  the  efforts  of States/Union Territory Governments by providing financial assistance through  its  various  schemes.  Sports  infrastructure  available  under  this Ministry can cater to larger number of athletes.
