through  Sports  Authority  of  India  (SAI).  Details  of  these  schemes  are available in the public domain on the website of the Ministry. (b) and (c) Receiving  of  proposals  by  the  Ministry  under  its  various schemes  is  an  ongoing  process.  Under  the  Khelo  India  Scheme,  the proposals  are  considered  in  this  Ministry  upon  receiving  them  through the concerned Department of the State/UT Government on the basis of their  technical  feasibility  with  reference  to  the  prescribed  parameters and availability  of  funds.
