The Central  Government  complements/supplements  the  efforts  of  the  State Governments.

The  details  of  schemes  being  implemented  by  the  Ministry  of Youth Affairs & Sports to develop sports infrastructure for promotion of various sports in the country including rural areas are as under :

-  Under  erstwhile  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  namely,  Panchayat Yuva  Krida  aur  Khel  Abhiyan  (PYKKA)  Scheme,  development  of basic sports infrastructure in village and block panchayats was an item  of  central  assistance  to  States/UTs  along  with  for  holding annual  sports  competitions,  from  2008-09  to  2013-14.  The  Statewise  and  year-wise  details  of  funds  released  to  States/UTs  for development of infrastructure under PYKKA Scheme during 2008-09 to 2013-14 are at Annexure-I. The PYKKA Scheme was restructured as Rajiv Gandhi Khel Abhiyan (RGKA) w.e.f. 01.04.2014.
-  The RGKA Scheme provides for construction of anintegrated sports complex in each block of the country both for outdoor and indoor sports disciplines.It also provides for central assistance for sports equipment.  The  RGKA  Scheme  also  provides  for  grant-in-aid  for holding competitions, viz, Rural Competitions, Women Competitions, North  East  Games  and  Competitions  in  Left  Wing  Extremism Affected  Areasat  various  levels,  i.e.,  block,  district,  State  and National  levels.  The  Scheme  was  evolved  to  provide  for  funding through convergence of various Schemes implemented by Ministry of  Rural  Development,  Ministry  of  Panchayati  Raj,  Ministry  of Development of North East Region, and erstwhile Planning Commission. However, no funds could be obtained towards implementation of RGKA  due to non-convergence of various Schemes by the concerned Ministries.
-  Urban Sports Infrastructure Scheme, introduced in 2010-11, envisages  creation  of  infrastructure  including  laying  of  artificial turfs  for  hockey,  football  and  athletics,  and  construction  of  multipurpose  hall.  Under  the  Scheme,  State  Governments,  local  civic bodies, schools, colleges, universities and sports control boards are eligible  for  assistance.
