ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF YOUTH AFFAIRS & SPORTS
[ DR. MANSUKH MANDAVIYA ]
(a) and (b) ‘Sports’ being a State subject, the responsibility for
development of sports, including development and strengthening of
sports infrastructure, rests primarily with the respective State/Union
Territory Governments. The Union Government supplements these
Page 1 of 2efforts by bridging critical gaps. 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/ Union Territory Governments 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 and their
sanctioned cost, funds released and their physical and financial
progress, under the Khelo India Scheme and National Sports
Development Funds (NSDF), across the country, including in State of
Bihar, are available in public domain on the dashboards of the Ministry at
https://mdsd.kheloindia.gov.in and http://www.nsdf.yas.gov.in/nsdf-
glance.html, respectively.
(c) Funds are allocated and released Scheme-wise and not State/UT-
wise. The details of funds allocated and expenditure incurred under
various Sports Development Schemes of the Department of Sports
across the country, including in the State of Bihar, during the last ten
years are as under:
