This has been already conveyed to all the State Governments. Accordingly, new sports infrastructure projects have to considered and funded by the State governments out of their own resources. However, Planning Commission has recently informed that funds to the extent of the committed liabilities will be provided for completion of on-going sanctioned projects under the Sports Infrastructure Schemes during the 10th Five Year Plan.
This information was given by Shri Prithviraj Chavan,Minister of State in the Prime Minister's office in the written reply to a query in the Lok Sabha today.
