In 2025, the inauguration of the Khelo India Multi-purpose Hall in Arunachal Pradesh emphasized the commitment of which government?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Central Government

Explanation:
• The inauguration of the Khelo India Multi-purpose Indoor Hall in Arunachal Pradesh in 2025 underscored the Central Government's commitment to the Northeast.
• The Khelo India scheme is a flagship national program implemented by the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.
• Its goal is to revive the sports culture in India at the grass-root level by building a strong framework for all sports played in the country.
• The Central Government has prioritized Arunachal Pradesh and other Himalayan states under the 'Vibrant Villages Programme' and sports infrastructure development.
• These facilities are funded primarily through Central Sector Schemes to ensure athletes in remote areas have world-class training access.

Information Booster:
• Khelo India was launched in 2018 to identify talented players in priority sports disciplines at various levels by a High-Powered Committee.
• The scheme provides financial assistance of ₹5 lakh per annum for 8 years to selected talented players.

Additional Knowledge:
Tribal Council (Option a)
• While local councils support community engagement, they do not have the financial budget to execute large-scale 'Khelo India' infrastructure projects.
Local Panchayat (Option c)
• Panchayats manage local issues, but the funding and planning for a multi-purpose sports hall are handled at the National level.
State Government (Option d)
• The State Government acts as an implementing partner, but the Khelo India brand and primary commitment stem from the Central Government's national vision.

So the correct answer is (b)
