## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF YOUTH AFFAIRS & SPORTS { SHRI ANURAG SINGH THAKUR }

(a)  to  (e) 'Sports'  being  a  State  subject,  the  responsibility  to  co nstruct stadiums rests primarily with the respective State/Union Territory Governments. The Union Government supplements their efforts. The stadiums in various parts of the country, both rural and urban, are under the jurisdiction of respective bodies/departments of State/UT Governments. As such,  the  information  about  them  is  not  maintained  in  this  Ministry. However, under the 'Utilisation and creation/upgradation of sports infrastructure'  vertical  of  the  Khelo  India  Scheme,  this  Ministry  has sanctioned 289 sports infrastructure projects of various categories (including  renovation)  across  the  country  covering  both  rural  as  well  as urban  areas  since  the  inception  of  the  Scheme  in  2016-17.  State/UT-wise and district-wise details of the same are at Annexure.

The  Khelo  India Scheme focuses on broad basing of sports amongst the youth of the country and promotion of sports activities in various parts of the country, including rural  sectors.
