Long range planning for physical education facilities of a continuous of anticipating and preparing to meet facilities needs. Functional facilities are the result of thorough and well organized planning. The facilities available at various parts of India may also reflect the sports achievement of the present study also considered in view of the availability of the sports facilities and its utilization in achievement the status in the game of BASEBALL In spite of recommendation by the government the authorities who were to shoulder responsibilities from time and again, to frame policy and program to uplift physical education and sports are not serious in implementing, rather acting as formulating agencies and completing the formulating of records only. As a result the research scholar made an attempt to survey the facilities in various colleges of Delhi University and bring surface the actual fact

It was hypothesized that the facilities available will be directly correlated to the level of performance at the Inter- college level in the University of Delhi.

DISCUSSION ON FINDINGS

An analysis of the study shows that the availability of playing area and other relative facilities and provisions which were below the expectation level, except few colleges, on the other hand if we observe the BASEBALL participation at different levels it was found that each college has participated whether they have facilities at the college or not. So, probably, the professionals and teachers working at the different colleges were making efforts to provide the facilities, training, and other assistance, coaching may be provided outside the college to achieve the optimum performance and to develop skills and their execution from outside the college regularly. Further, it may be analyzed that all the 18 college of Delhi University have lesser facility than the requirement. In addition to that the different budgetary provisions are less in most of the colleges than participation and achievements in BASEBALL events at different level. However, some of the colleges reported that they are providing some sort of scholarship, fee-concession, prizes, sports kit, awards, and also provide the recognition as outstanding sports person at annual function and sports function of the respective college.
