- (a) to  (c)  Sir,  Sports  being  a  State  subject,  the  responsibility  for promotion and development of sports rests with the State /Union Territory Governments. However, Government of India supplements the efforts to promote sports through Schemes such as  Scheme  of  Assistance  to  National  Sports  Federations  and other  schemes  including  Khelo  India  Scheme.  The  Schemes  of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports are to promote sports for

the whole country and as such the Budgetary allocation is made scheme wise and not specifically  for  any  State/Union  Territory. These  schemes  help  the  Government  to  prepare  sportspersons for national and international competitions and also for supplementing  the  efforts  of the State/Union  Territories for developing sports infrastructure.

The  details  of  infrastructure  sanctioned  in  the  State  of  Bihar under the Khelo India Scheme are at Annexure-I.
