Khelo India Revamped Scheme to Strengthen Maharashtra’s Sporting Ecosystem

The Sports Authority of India (SAI) Regional Centre Mumbai held a press interaction regarding the Khelo India Revamped Scheme (2026–31). The scheme carries an outlay of ₹36,441 crore, reflecting an increase of approximately eight times the previous allocation, and aims to expand supported athletes by nearly ten times. The revamped framework encompasses nine key components—such as sports infrastructure, talent identification, leagues, training facilities, coach development, the Fit India Movement, and sports technology—to build a seamless pathway from grassroots to international podium success. It includes strategies like mapping existing infrastructure, State Action Plans, and establishing Khelo India Utkrishta Vidyalayas and Feeder Schools.
