ANSWER

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

- (a) & (b) The  Ministry  of  Youth  Affairs  &  Sports  was  implementing  a Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  namely,  Panchayat  Yuva  Krida  aur  Khel Abhiyan  (PYKKA)  Scheme  for  creation  of  basic  sports  infrastructure  in village and block panchayats. The PYKKA Scheme was restructured and renamed as Rajiv Gandhi Khel Abhiyan (RGKA) w.e.f. 01.04.2014.

The RGKA Scheme provides for construction of a sports complex in each block of the country both for outdoor and indoor sports disciplines on land measuring about six - seven acres at a total cost of Rs. 1.60 crore (Rs. 80 lakh each for outdoor playfield and indoor sports hall). Under  Urban  Sports  Infrastructure  Scheme  (USIS),  the  Ministry provides assistance for creating sports infrastructure in urban areas. The  details  of  funds  released  to  States/UTs  including  Himachal Pradesh  for  development  of  sports  infrastructure  under  PYKKA  during 2013-14 are given in Annexure - I.  Due to non-availability of convergence of funds and State Component, funds could not be released under RGKA during  2014-15.  The  details  of  funds  released  to  States/UTs  including Himachal  Pradesh  for  development  of  sports  infrastructure  under  USIS during 2013-14 and 2014-15 are given in Annexure-II.

State-wise  details  of  such  financial  assistance  are  not maintained in the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports.
