## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF YOUTH AFFAIRS AND SPORTS (SHRI ANURAG SINGH THAKUR)

(a) to (d): 'Sports'  being  a  State  subject,  the  responsibility  to  promote and develop sports in the country, including at the village and panchayat level, rests primarily with the respective State/Union Territory Governments. However, the Union Government supplements their efforts in this regard through its following schemes:

- (i) Khelo India;
- (ii) Assistance to National Sports Federations;
- (iii)  Special  Awards  to  Winners  in  International  sports  events  and their Coaches;
- (iv) National Sports Awards,

(v) Pension to Meritorious Sports Persons; (vi) Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay National Welfare Fund for Sportspersons; (vii) National Sports Development Fund; and (viii)  Running  sports  training  centres  through  Sports  Authority  of India(SAI).

All  these  schemes  cater  to  the  entire  country,  including  village  and panchayat levels. Details of these  schemes are  available in the public domain on the websites of this Ministry and the Sports Authority of India (www.yas.nic.in/sports; www.sportsauthorityofindia.nic.in). Further, one of the components of the Khelo India Scheme - 'Promotion of rural and indigenous/tribal games', is specifically dedicated towards promotion of sports in rural areas, including in the State of Maharashtra. Funds are allocated by this Ministry Scheme-wise, not State-wise. The details of the funds allocated under various schemes of the Department of  Sports  for  promoting  sports  in  the  country,  including  at  the  village levels, during the last two years is given at Annexure.
