The National Sports Development Fund's (NSDF) Executive Committee (EC) Thursday approved additional financial assistance for construction of an outdoor boxing hall at the Mary Kom Regional Boxing Foundation in Imphal.
The committee also decided that the project would be monitored regularly by the regional centre of the Sports Authority of India (SAI).
NSDF had earlier approved Rs.306.44 lakh to the Olympic bronze medallist's foundation in May, for the construction of a gymnasium and procurement of gym equipment.
This approval was subject to submission of some additional information/details about the availability of land and the role of M.C. Mary Kom in the management of the Foundation.
The EC was informed that the Foundation had provided these details and action is being taken for release of the money already sanctioned.
