ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE)

FOR YOUTH AFFAIRS & SPORTS (SHRI SARBANANDA SONOWAL)

- (a) & (b) The Ministry of Youth  Affairs &  Sports had received proposals  from  various  State  Governments  for  improving  the  sports facilities  in  their  States  under  Centrally  Sponsored  Schemes  of  Rajiv Gandhi Khel Abhiyan (RGKA) and Urban Sports Infrastructure Scheme (USIS) which were being implemented by it. RGKA and USIS along with another  Scheme,  namely,  National  Sports  Talent  Search  Scheme (NSTSS),  have  been  merged  into  a  Central  Sector  Scheme  known  as 'Khelo India  -  National  Programme  for  Development  of  Sports'  to  be implemented from 2016-17.

(c) & (d) The Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports does not propose to lay synthetic track on different sport complexes/stadia in the country. There  is  no  role  of  the  Central  Government  in  identification  of  the locations for laying synthetic track on different sport complexes/stadia. No State/ UT-wise allocation of funds is made for this purpose. However,  under  its  erstwhile  Urban  Sports  Infrastructure  Scheme (USIS), the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports has released funds to the eligible entities for laying Synthetic Track on different sport complexes/stadia in the country based on the proposals received from them.  The  State-wise  details  of  funds  released  for  laying  Synthetic Track during 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 are given in Annexure-I. No funds have been released during the current financial year.
