India Sports Minister Anurag Thakur gave a meek response when asked about the Indian team going to Pakistan for the Asia Cup. Thakur had said in October that the final call rests with the home ministry. But he changed his stance on Sunday and said the final call is with the Indian Cricket Board.
When Thakur was asked about India’s participation in Pakistan, he said, “Let the Indian Cricket Board take a call on Indian team’s participation in Asia Cup first, then only the sports ministry and home ministry will decide.”. Thakur emphisised on the same. He also talked about the wide range of government schemes to encourage sports.
The five-year plan for Khelo India has got another five year extension – Anurag Thakur
“As of now we have sanctioned 945 Khelo India centers and before August 15 the government will achieve the target of 1,000 such centers across the country. Our goal is to start at least one Khelo India center in each district.” “The central government is focused on the promotion of sports. In 2014, the 900 crore sports budget rose to 3,397 crores. Even the five-year plan of Khelo India Youth Games (KIYG) has been extended to another five years.”.
The Sports Minister said that it is the duty of every state government to develop sports at the grasroots level. There is an idea to invite Sports Ministers of all state governments. At the end of the month there are plans to hold a meeting where sports ministers of all states share their knowledge together.
“The government is providing everything to elite athletes of the country through the TOPS scheme. At the Khelo India accredited academies, the government is spending a lot for selected sportspersons, who are mostly from villages and the result is visible.” Thakur has served as President and Secretary at the Indian Cricket Board and is now serving as sports minister. The Khelo Insia games were held recently in the country.
