A  National  Youth  Policy-2014  has  been  introduced with a vision to empower youth of the country to achieve their full potential and through them enable India to find its rightful place in the community of nation.    Similarly  there  is  a  National  Sports  Policy,  2001  for  promotion  of sports  in  the  country.      Adequate  funds  are  available  for  development  of youth  and  sports  activities  in  the  country.  Details  of  funds  allocated  and released scheme-wise during the last three years and current year are given in Annexure. Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports does not maintain details of stadia  constructed  in  States  including  Chhatisgarh . A  total  of  83  Youth Hostels  under  this  Ministry's  scheme  have  been  constructed  across  the country and one more Youth Hostel is in advanced stage of construction. No new Youth Hostel has been constructed in the country during the last 3 years and  current  year  including  in  the  State  of  Chhatisgarh  as  the  erstwhile Planning  Commission  (Now  NITI  Aayog)  advised  not  to  take  up  any  new construction of Youth Hostel, but to complete only the ongoing projects, till a suitable PPP Model is finalised.
26. (d) As  'sports'  is  a  State  subject,  budgetary  allocation  to  the  State governments for sports activities is not done by the Union Government. It is responsibility of State Governments to make increased allocation for sports activities  from  their  own  resources.  Release  of  grants  by  the  Ministry  of Youth Affairs and Sports for development of youth and sports activities in the States  at  present  is  done  from  the  budgetary  allocation  made  for  the Ministry's  three  Schemes  viz.,  National  Service  Scheme, Rajiv  Gandhi  Khel Abhiyan Scheme and Urban Sports Infrastructure Scheme.
