The Union Government supplements their efforts by bridging critical  gaps.  However,  under  the  'Creation  and  upgradation  of  sports infrastructure' component of the Khelo India Scheme, financial assistance is provided to State/UT governments and other eligible entities for procurement  of  sports  equipment.  Further,  financial  assistance  is  also provided to Khelo India Centres and Accredited Academies for procurement of  equipment.State-wise  details  of  Khelo  India  Centres  and  Accredited Academies under the Khelo India Scheme, are available at https://dashboard.kheloindia.gov.in/state-wise-khelo-india-centers.

(c) State-wise details of amount of financial support provided to training athletes  in  the  Khelo  India  Scheme  and  National  Events  are  available  at https://dashboard.kheloindia.gov.in/state-wise-khelo-india-centers.

(d) The track and field stadiums present in various parts of the country are under the jurisdiction of the respective bodies/Department of State/UT Governments. The information about them is maintained by the respective State/UT.
