Financial Assistance for Construction of Stadium

†2798. SHRI MANOHAR UTAWAL:

Will the Minister of YOUTH AFFAIRS AND SPORTS be pleased to state:

- (a) whether the Union Government provides financial assistance to the State Governments for construction of stadium and other infrastructure projects;
- (b) if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons therefor;
- (c) whether the State Government of Madhya Pradesh has forwarded proposals to  the  Union  Government  seeking  release  of  funds  under  the  infrastructure head and if so, the details thereof; and
- (d) the present status of the release of allocated funds to Madhya Pradesh?

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

(a) & (b) Sports is a State subject and it is primarily the responsibility of the State  Government  to  create  adequate  sports  infrastructure  for  promotion  of various sports in the country. The Central Government complements/supplements the efforts of the State Governments.

The Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports does not implement any Scheme for  construction of stadium. However, for developing sports infrastructure at Village and Block Panchayats,  the Ministry of Youth Affairs &  Sports implemented Panchayat Yuva Krida aur Khel Abhiyan (PYKKA) Scheme from 2008-09 to 2013-14.

The State-wise 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 which provides for construction of an integrated sports complex in each block of the country both for outdoor and indoor sports disciplines. The Ministry is also implementing Urban Sports Infrastructure  Scheme  (USIS)  for  developing  sports  infrastructure  such  as synthetic athletic track, artificial tracks for hockey and football and construction of Multi-purpose hall.

In  the  meantime,  it  has  been  decided  to  restructure  and  merge  a number  of  Centrally  Sponsored  Schemes  including  the  RGKA  and  USIS,  into one Central Sector Scheme to address provision of infrastructure.

(c) & (d) While no funds have been released for construction of block level sports  complex  under  RGKA  to  the  any  State  including  Madhya  Pradesh,  a project  of  laying  a  synthetic  hockey  field  at  Ranital  Sports  Complex  at Jabalpur  in  Madhya  Pradesh  was  sanctioned  on  18th  October,  2011  under Urban Sports Infrastructure  Scheme (USIS) at an estimated cost of Rs. 4.81 crore  out  of  which  Rs.  3.62  crore  was  released  as  first  installment.  The Utilization Certificate (UC) for the released amount of Rs. 3.62 crore became due on 31st March, 2013 and has not been received. Accordingly, Government of Madhya Pradesh were asked to return the sum of Rs. 3.62 crore along with the  interest  @  10%  per  annum  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  General Financial  Rules  (GFRs),  2005.  Reply  is  awaited.  Meanwhile,  proposals  for construction of multi-purpose indoor hall at T.T. Nagar, Bhopal and laying of synthetic athletic track and construction of multi-purpose indoor hall at Sports Complex,  Vidisha  were  received  from  Government  of  Madhya  Pradesh.  The proposals  could  not  be  processed  for  sanction  since  Utilization  Certificate (UC) in respect of a project of laying of synthetic hockey field at Ranital Sports Complex,  Jabalpur,  has  not  been  received  from  Government  of  Madhya Pradesh as yet.
