## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR YOUTH AFFAIRS & SPORTS

(SHRI SARBANANDA SONOWAL)

(a) & (b) There are 623 District Level Kendras of Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) in the country as per the

State-wise and District-wise details of the Kendras given in the Annexure.

(c) & (d) The activities and programmes of NYKS are being organized by effectively utilizing the available funds. However, at present there is shortage of manpower in Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS). For the requirement of 623 Kendras,  312  District  youth  Coordinators  (DYCs)  and  469 Assistant Clerk cum Typists (ACTs) are in position. In order to  ensure  that  the  Government  programmes  do  not  suffer, alternative arrangements  have been made.  In case of Kendras where full time DYCs  are not available, the activities  are  carried  on  by  assigning  additional  charge  to the DYCs of other Districts. In addition, the situation is also being  managed  by  taking  officers  on  deputation  and  reemployment of retired officers on contract basis for limited period, subject to suitability. The posts against the sanctioned strength in NYKS are lying vacant for more than one year. As such these vacant posts are deemed to have been  abolished  as  per  the  instructions  on  the  subject. Necessary  action  has  been  initiated  for  the  revival  of  the posts. Thereafter action shall be initiated for the filling up of the posts.
