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

(a) The 'Khelo India - National Programme for Development of Sports' of this Ministry aims at strengthening the entire sports ecosystem to promote the  twin  objectives  of  mass  participation  and  promotion  of  excellence  in sports across the country. It focuses on broad-basing of sports among the youth and promotion of sports activities throughout the country.

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  sports  infrastructure  projects  sanctioned  under this scheme is two to three years. However, the responsibility of executing the projects rests with the grantees, who receive the financial assistance. The State-wise details of sports infrastructure sanctioned in the country, including Maharashtra, under the Khelo India Scheme are at Annexure - I. No project has been sanctioned in and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu till date.

(b)  to  (d)  'Sports'  being  a  State  subject,  primary  responsibility  to  engage sports coaches and create sports infrastructure rests with the State/Union Territory  Governments.  The  Union  Government  supplements  their  efforts. The details of existing sports infrastructure and coaches in various parts of the country, including Maharashtra, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu,  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 the Sports Authority of India (SAI), an autonomous  body  under  the  Ministry  of  Youth  Affairs  &  Sports,  has  966 coaches  under  its  various  centres  across  the  country.  State-wise  and discipline  wise  details  of  coaches  under  SAI  are  at  Annexure-II  and Annexure-III respectively.

Apart from this, under the Khelo India Scheme, an effective sports training mechanism  has  been  worked  out  wherein  past  champion  athletes  are engaged  as  coaches  and  mentors  for  young  and  budding  athletes.  As  on date, 102 such athletes have been engaged in 91 Khelo India Centres (KICs) across the country.

Further,  one  of  the  components  of  the  Khelo  India  Scheme  namely 'Promotion of Rural and Indigenous/Tribal Games' is specifically dedicated to the rural sector of the country. A total of 523 KICs, 29 Khelo India State Centre of Excellence (KISCE) and 264 sports academies are supported this Scheme across the country, including in the rural areas.

- (e) 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,  CSR  funds  are  received  from  public  as  well  as  private  institutions, individuals, for development of sports, including creation and maintenance of  sports  infrastructure.  So  far, ₹ 190.34  crore  of  CSR  funding  has  been received in NSDF.
