Large cash rewards have been arranged for athletes who win medals in national and international competitions. Athletes who perform well are being taken directly into government jobs so that they are assured of security and stability.

The Uttar Pradesh government has taken several important steps to take sport in the state further.

High-standard facilities such as stadiums, multipurpose sports halls, swimming pools and synthetic courts are being built in various districts. Under the One District-One Sport scheme, Khelo India centres have been approved in all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh. Through these centres, local sporting talent is being given professional training, good-quality sports kits and necessary equipment free of cost.
