09.03.2026 REGARDING “STATUS OF STADIUMS IN GUJARAT” ASKED
BY SHRI HARIBHAI PATEL, HON’BLE MEMBER OF LOK SABHA.
(a) to (c) ‘Sports’ being a State subject, the responsibility of development
of sports, including construction of outdoor and indoor sports stadiums,
rests primarily with the State/Union Territory Governments. The Union
Government supplements their efforts by bridging critical gaps.
However, the Khelo India Scheme and National Sports Development
Fund (NSDF), implemented by this Ministry, under which financial
assistance for development of sports infrastructure is provided are
demand-driven schemes. The proposals received from the State/ UT
Government and other 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 Gujarat, are available in the public domain on the dashboards of the
Ministry at https://mdsd.kheloindia.gov.in. and
