(a)  to  (c):    "Sports"  being  a  State  subject,  the  responsibility  for promotion  and  development  of  sports,  including  establishment  of Centres at district levels, primarily rests with the respective State Governments. However, the Central Government supplements their efforts through its various schemes as well as the sports promotional schemes implemented by Sports Authority of India (SAI).

Under  the  Khelo  India  Scheme,  the  proposals  for  notifying Centres/Academies as Khelo India Centres (KICs) are received from the State/Union Territory (UT) Government. Accordingly, 1059 District Level  Khelo  India  Centres  (KICs)  have  been  notified  across  the country.  The  details  of  all  notified  KICs  till  date  are  available  at 'https://dashboard.kheloindia.gov.in/state-wise-khelo-india-centers'.

- (d)  and  (e):   No special  funds have been released for this purpose. However, SAI allocates funds to its Regional Centres for implementation of various Sports Promotional Schemes. Further, the details  of  funds  released  to  States  under  Khelo  India  Scheme  are provided at Annexure - I.
- (f):      Yes.  SAI  implements  various  Sports  Promotional  Schemes across the country to identify talented sportspersons in various age groups and nurture them to excel at national and international levels. Most  of  these  athletes  come  from  rural  and  tribal  areas  of  the country.
