In its attempt to improve the standard of sports in the country, the Government gave assistance of Rs 6.1 crore for the training of 31 athletes and to eight organisations in the first quarter of the current year 2015-16 from the National Sports Development Fund (NSDF).
The funds were given for conduct of tournaments, participation in tournaments abroad, infrastructure development and prize money etc.
Out of the said 31 athletes, 24 have been given assistance under the Target Olympic Podium scheme.
The NSDF had been established by the Youth Affairs & Sports Ministry with the objective of promotion of sports in general and specific sports disciplines and individual sports persons in particular for achieving excellence at the National and International level and to construct and maintain infrastructure as may be required for promotion of excellence in sports.
