## THE MINISTER OF YOUTH AFFAIRS & SPORTS

## ANSWER { SHRI ANURAG SINGH THAKUR }

(a) One of the verticals of the Khelo India Scheme , ' Promotion of rural and indigenous/tribal games' , is dedicated specifically to the encouragement of rural sports activities in the country, including the rural areas of Maharashtra. This Ministry has provided financial assistance to the concerned Sports Federations for conducting competitive events in Mallakhamb, Mitti Dangal (freestyle wrestling), tug of war, etc. in the rural areas of Maharashtra. 37 players of Maharashtra who have won medals in Mallakhamb at the national level are receiving scholarship at the rate of Rs. 10,000/- per month under the Khelo India Scheme. Further, rural sports are also  promoted  in  Maharashtra  and  other  parts  of  the  country  under  the aegis  of  the  Ek  Bharat  Shreshtha  Bharat  (EBSB)  Programme  of  which  the sports component is implemented by this Ministry.

(b)  and  (c) 'Sports'  being  a  State  subject,  the  responsibility  to  develop special facilities to encourage meritorious children and youth in rural areas so  that  they  also  get  an  opportunity  to  play  in  national/international competitions and represent the nation rests primarily with the respective State/Union  Territory  Governments.  The  Union  Government  supplements their  efforts.  However,  under  the  Khelo  India  Scheme  of  this  Ministry,  12 sports infrastructure projects of various categories have been sanctioned, 28  sports  academies  have  been  accreditated  and  44  Khelo  India  Centres (district  level)  and  one  Khelo  India  State  Centre  of  Excellence  have  been approved in the State of Maharashtra. Further, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) runs 2 National Centres of Excellence (NCOE), one Indigenous Games and  Martial  Arts  School  (IGMA)  and  14  Adopted  Akharas  in  the  State  of Maharashtra.  Details of  these  sports facilities  are  at  Annexure.  The sportspersons being trained at these sports facilities belong to all sections of society including the rural, backward and tribal areas of the country and are provided with regular training on residential and non-residential basis as per the approved norms of the schemes.

(d) Does not arise.
