STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (e) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. *199 TO BE ANSWERED ON 15/03/2022 REGARDING  ' ONE  SCHOOL-ONE  SPORT '  ASKED  BY SHRI  ANNASAHEB SHANKAR JOLLE , HON'BLE MEMBER OF LOK SABHA

- (a) One School-One Sport policy is an initiative undertaken by the Ministry of Defence  for  Sainik  Schools  located  across  the  country  so  that  they  can focus  on  at  least  one  sporting  discipline  identified  for  the  respective State/UT.

Under the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, the concept of One State One Game (OSOG) has been designed keeping in mind India's preparedness in achieving excellence in Olympics 2024 and beyond. The long-term plan is aimed at making each State or Union Territory (UT) proficient in 2-3 sports disciplines in which it possesses a special aptitude for winning an Olympics medal and wherein the Central Government could provide support for soft components such as coaching, sports science equipment, sports equipment, support staff, etc. The principle of OSOG has been aligned with the  setting-up  of  Khelo  India  State  Centres  of  Excellence  (KISCE)  in  all States/UTs,  where  sports-specific  support,  sports  science  support  and necessary technical handholding are provided to such Centres.

- (b)  For  OSOG,  the  Government  has  finalised  the  State/UT-wise  list  of disciplines which have been recommended by the respective States/UTs as detailed at Annexure.
- (c)  Since  the  long-term  vision  is  to  develop  excellence  in  Olympics,  14 priority Olympics disciplines have been identified out which the respective States/UTs have identified 03 priority disciplines for further development as per Annexure.
- (d) The game of cricket has not been included under OSOG.
- (e) Funding is provided to States/UTs to engage high-quality manpower, like Head Coaches and High-Performance Directors. Accomplished sportspersons  meeting  the  eligibility  criteria  are  considered  for  such positions.
