## THE MINISTER OF YOUTH AFFAIRS & SPORTS

## ANSWER { DR. MANSUKH MANDAVIYA }

(a) and (b) 'Sports' being a State subject, the responsibility of development of sports, including construction of sports complexes, rests primarily with the  respective  State/Union  Territory  Governments.  The  Union  Government only supplements their efforts by bridging critical gaps. Further, the Khelo India Scheme and National Sports Development Fund (NSDF), implemented by this Ministry, under which financial assistance for development of sports infrastructure  is  provided  are  demand-driven  schemes.  The  proposals

received  from  the  State/UT  Governments  and  other  eligible  entities  are considered  for  financial  support,  subject  to  their  completeness,  technical feasibility and availability of funds under the Scheme. This Ministry has not received any such proposal for construction of sports complexes in various districts  of  Maharashtra,  Khandwa  Lok  Sabha  Constituency  in  Madhya Pradesh and Dadra and Nagar Haveli.

- (c)  Funds  are  released  Scheme-wise  and  not  State-wise  in  this  Ministry. Details of funds released under Khelo India Scheme, including for promoting sports  activities,  across  the  country  during  the  last  three  years,  are  as under:
- (d) Under the National Sports Development Fund (NSDF), which is a Central Sector  scheme,  Corporate  Social  Responsibility  (CSR)  funds  are  received from  corporate  entities  both  in  the  public  sector  and  private  sector.  The details  of  CSR  funds  received  in  NSDF  during  the  last  three  years  are  as under:
