India's ₹50,000/month (~$580 USD) for XXXXX athletes totals ~$21M/year, targeting broad talent for 2036 Olympics.

Comparisons (verified 2025 data):
- China: $3.2B annual sports budget; full state support, e.g., $1,500/month scholarships for elites.
- USA: No gov't funding; private: $200K/athlete per Games (deferred), $37.5K gold bonus.
- Japan: $1.24B gov't budget; $45K gold incentive.
- S. Korea: $727/month lifetime for gold medalists + exemptions.

India's per-athlete aid is modest vs. China's scale, but inclusive.
