Why India’s athletes and sports federations should not be worried that budgets have been ‘reduced’ in an Olympic year

Firstpost  

Should then India’s athletes and National Sports Federations be worried that the budgets have been ‘reduced’ in the Olympic year? They suggested that in raising the allocation for Khelo India and ‘reducing’ the financial assistance to National Sports Federations, someone was missing the woods for the trees. In the Budget, three accounting heads directly affect India’s elite athletes and National Sports Federations — Assistance to National Sports Federations, Incentives to Sportspersons and National Sports Development Fund. The biggest component, Assistance to National Sports Federations, covers costs of sending teams abroad for training and competition, for conducting international tournaments in India, for conducting National Championships and for procuring sports equipment.
