Funds deployment by government for improving sports facilities


Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports                       03-May, 2016 14:38 IST

The Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Youth Affairs & Sports, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal has said that the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports had received proposals from various State Governments for improving the sports facilities in their States under Centrally Sponsored Schemes of Rajiv Gandhi Khel Abhiyan (RGKA) and Urban Sports Infrastructure Scheme (USIS) which were being implemented by it. RGKA and USIS along with another Scheme, namely, National Sports Talent Search Scheme (NSTSS), have been merged into a Central Sector Scheme known as

 

"Khelo India – National Programme for Development of Sports" to be implemented from 2016-17.

 

The Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports does not propose to lay synthetic track on different sport complexes/stadia in the country. There is no role of the Central Government in identification of the locations for laying synthetic track on different sport complexes/stadia.

 

 

In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today the Minister said, no State/ UT-wise allocation of funds is made for this purpose. However, under its erstwhile Urban Sports Infrastructure Scheme (USIS), the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports has released funds to the eligible entities for laying Synthetic Track on different sport complexes/stadia in the country based on the proposals received from them. The State-wise details of funds released for laying Synthetic Track during 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 are given in Annexure-I. No funds have been released during the current financial year.

Series of steps announced by NHAI to remove Hurdles for Faster Execution of Projects

Ministry of Road Transport & Highways                                03-May, 2016     12:45 IST Ministry of Road Transport & Highways announced few basic measures to improve speed of execution of road projects under National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). To speed up the projects, NHAI has delegated powers to its Regional Officers for hiring of equipment and laborers up to Rs.10 lacs per project , to demolish structures that fall within the right-of-way of the project. As some of the contracts had no provision for demolition of such structures, there would often be protracted correspondence between the contractors, Project Directors and NHAI headquarters before these could be removed, often leading to delay in execution of projects . With this delegation of power to ROs NHAI will be able to make encumbrance free land available more speedily to the concessionaire/contractors as laid down under the concession agreement or contract.

What are the women specific programs in Scientific Research and Development in India?

05-May-2016 16:41 IST Women Participation in Scientific Research and Development Department of Science And Technology (DST) initiated exclusive schemes to enable women to pursue a career in Research and Development (R&D) in Science and Technology (S&T) only in the year 2002. Before that sporadic attempts had been made in this direction and hence only a few women were engaged in R&D in mainstream science. One of the major reasons for this anomaly leading to gender gap in scientific R&D was the break in career that many women had to face due to familial compulsions like marriage, child birth, looking after old or ailing parents, children's education and so on. Subsequently, DST launched DISHA Programme for Women in Science to address these issues and made focused efforts to not only facilitate the re-entry of such women to mainstream science by offering them opportunities to pursue R&D, take up projects having distinct societal impact and explore a career in Int...
