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

- (a)  and  (b) 'Sports'  being  a  State  subject,  the  primary  responsibility  to create  sports  infrastructure  and  engage  sports  coaches  rests  with  the State/Union  Territory  Governments.  The  Union  Government  supplements their efforts. The sports infrastructure and coaches in various parts of the country,  including  Bihar, are under  the  jurisdiction of the  respective bodies/departments  of  State/UT  Governments.  As  such,  the  information about  them  is  not  maintained  in  this  Ministry.  However,  this  Ministry  has

sanctioned 267 sports infrastructure  projects  of  various  categories  in  the country under the Khelo India Scheme, which includes 11 projects in Bihar, as detailed in Annexure -I. Further, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) has 918 regular and contractual coaches under its various centres across the country. Discipline-wise and State-wise details of coaches under SAI are at Annexure -II and Annexure -III, respectively.

- (c) Under the 'Utilisation and creation/upgradation of sports infrastructure' vertical  of  the  Khelo  India  Scheme,  financial  assistance  is  provided  to State/UT Governments and other eligible entities for creation/upgradation of sports infrastructure of various categories across the country. Khelo India Scheme is a demand driven scheme under which projects are sanctioned regularly on the basis of proposals received from various State/UT Governments and other eligible entities from time to time. The timeline of completion of projects sanctioned under this Scheme is two to three years. However,  the  responsibility  of  executing  the  projects  rests  with  the State/UT  Governments.  The  State-wise  details  of  sports  infrastructure sanctioned in the country,  including Bihar, under the Khelo  India  Scheme are given at Annexure -I.
- (d)  The  Government  encourages  the  contribution  of  Corporate  Social Responsibility (CSR) funds for development of sports infrastructure through various  Schemes of this  Ministry.  Under  the  National  Sports  Development Fund, which is a Central Sector Scheme, CSR funds are received from public as  well  as  private  institutions  for  creation  and  maintenance  of  sports infrastructure. So far, Rs. 170 crore of CSR funding has been received from various organisations.
- (e) The Government provides financial assistance for development of sports by way of creation/upgradation of sports infrastructure as well as conducting competitions and coaching/training camps under the Khelo India Scheme  across  the  country  throughout  the  year,  including  the  State  of Bihar. So far, an amount of Rs. 55.49 crore has been sanctioned for creation of  sports  infrastructure  in  various  districts  of  Bihar  under  the  Scheme. Further,  Rs.  1.16  crore  have  been  released  under  the  vertical ' sports  for peace and development ' of the Scheme in Bihar.
