|        2 | 2020-21          |            328.77 |                                    338.06 |
|        3 | 2021-22          |            869    |                                    764.29 |
|        4 | 2022-23          |            600    |                                    596.39 |

However, the details of total number of Khelo India Centres (KICs) established and  number  of sportspersons benefitted from the aforementioned KICs across the country including in rural and urban areas are available  in  public  domain  on  the  dashboard  of  the  Ministry  at https://dashboard.kheloindia.gov.in/state-wise-khelo-india-centers.

As per the existing  guidelines  of  the  Khelo  India  Scheme,  the  timeline  of completion of infrastructure projects sanctioned under the Scheme is two years  from  the  date  of  its  sanction.  The  responsibility  of  executing  the projects rests with the grantee.
