## ANSWER { DR. MANSUKH MANDAVIYA }

- (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,  1041  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-indiacenters'.

(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. Many of these athletes come from rural and tribal areas of the country.
