NEW DELHI: The govt on Thursday announced a multi-fold hike in the coaches’ salaries and substantially increasing the financial grant to host international tournaments.
It also announced a series of changes in the ‘scheme of assistance to the national sports federations (NSFs)’. The sports ministry has also increased the daily dietary allowances of senior and junior athletes – almost doubling the amount in case of the latter.
The revisions were considered owing to increased costs, sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya said.
“NSFs of high priority and priority disciplines will identify probable groups of athletes in two categories — senior and junior group. These athletes will be trained at accredited academies, selected by NSFs through a fair and transparent process.
“The training programme at these academies will be monitored by a high performance director (HPD) of that respective sport. Each probable group athlete will receive Rs 10,000 per month as dietary allowance during non-camp days, so that he/she isn’t deprived of a proper diet,” Mandaviya said. It was also announced that NSFs with an annual budget of Rs 10 crore and above must appoint a HPD.
