The Union Government supplements their efforts by bridging critical gaps.

The proposals received from the State/ UT Government and Page 1 of 2other eligible entities, are considered for financial support, subject to their completeness, technical feasibility and availability of funds under the scheme.
The details of the sports infrastructure projects approved under the Khelo India Scheme and NSDF, across the country, including in the State of Uttar Pradesh, are available in the public domain on the dashboards of
