Reply: Section 26 of the Rodrigues Regional Assembly Act, provides, inter-alia, that the Rodrigues Regional Assembly shall be responsible for the formulation of policy in respect of youth and sports. In Financial Year 2024-2025, an amount of Rs111.2 million was allocated for the promotion of Sports and Sports for All by the Rodrigues Regional Assembly. However, despite this autonomy in the budget of the Rodrigues Regional Assembly for youth and sports, I am pleased to inform the House that several National Sports Federations allocate a portion of their annual grants provided by my Ministry to support the advancement of sports in Rodrigues. This is a commendable recognition of the immense sporting talent that the island of Rodrigues possesses. Indeed, Rodrigues is an island brimming with potential, and its athletes continue to demonstrate exceptional skill and dedication on both national and international stages. Additionally, my Ministry provides facilities such as airport transfers and board and lodging when our fellow athletes from Rodrigues come to Mauritius to train or to participate in competitions. A list of the federations thereof together with the financial assistance to their sports discipline in Rodrigues is being placed in the Library of the National Assembly.
