## THE MINISTER OF YOUTH AFFAIRS & SPORTS

## ANSWER { SHRI ANURAG SINGH THAKUR }

- (a) The details  of  the  funds  sanctioned  by  the  Government  to  develop sports  infrastructure  under  Khelo  India  scheme since  its  inception,  Statewise are at Annexure.
- (b) & (c) The receipt of proposals from State/Union Territory Governments including those from the State of Karnataka, and other eligible entities for development of sports, including creation/upgradation of sports infrastructure and setting up of sports academies, is a continuous process. Proposals, when received, are considered for financial assistance subject to adherence  to  the  norms  of  the  Scheme,  their  technical  feasibility  and availability of funds.

(d) & (e) 'Sports'  being  a  State  subject,  the  responsibility  to  promote sports and improve the level of sports and infrastructural facilities including stadiums, playing fields, tracks and sports training in the country including tribal  areas  primarily  rests  with  the  State/Union  Territory  Governments. Central Government supplements their efforts. However, under the 'Utilization  and  Creation/Upgradation  of  Sports  Infrastructure'  vertical  of the Khelo India Scheme, this Ministry renders financial support for creation of  basic  sports  infrastructure  such  as  sports  complex,  synthetic  athletic tracks, synthetic hockey fields, synthetic turf football grounds, multipurpose  halls,  swimming  pools,  etc.  along  with  sports  equipment, based on the proposals of the State/UTs.
