In the financial year 2025, the Sports Activities budget for FR Kohat under Sub Division 5270 was allocated with the aim of supporting sports-related administrative operations, events, equipment procurement, and miscellaneous expenses. The original budget stood at Rs. 10.112 million, reflecting the department’s commitment to promote sports and related activities in the region.

At the start of the year, a large portion of the funds was reserved under “A05270 – To Others”, amounting to Rs. 8 million, which likely represented grants or special allocations for sports programs. However, by the reporting period, none of this amount had been utilized, leaving the full Rs. 8 million unspent. This indicates that the main sports initiatives planned under this head had either been delayed or were yet to begin.

Despite the inactivity in the main sports allocation, some operational expenditures were recorded in supporting budget heads. The Traveling Allowance (A03805) had an original allocation of Rs. 120,000, of which Rs. 29,535 was spent, leaving a balance of Rs. 90,465. This suggests that limited field visits or travel activities were conducted.

One of the highest utilized heads was P.O.L Charges (fuel and vehicle expenses) under A03807, where the original allocation of Rs. 250,000 was increased by Rs. 400,000 through re-appropriation, bringing the final budget to Rs. 650,000. The department spent Rs. 462,500, which shows significant transportation-related activity, perhaps for logistics, coordination, or movement related to sports administration.

Another major spending area was “Others” (A03970), which initially had Rs. 1.55 million, but Rs. 800,000 was reduced through re-appropriation, leaving a final budget of Rs. 750,000. This entire revised allocation was fully utilized, indicating that miscellaneous operational needs were prioritized and executed efficiently.

The department also invested in assets. Under Plant & Machinery (A09601) and Furniture & Fixtures (A09701), the original allocations of Rs. 10,000 each were enhanced by Rs. 200,000 each, and Rs. 200,000 was spent in both categories. This suggests the department procured equipment and office assets, possibly to strengthen infrastructure for sports administration.

On the other hand, several operational heads such as Postage, Telephone, Electricity, Stationery, Printing, Newspapers, Uniforms, Advertising, and Transport remained completely unutilized, despite allocated budgets. This points toward either delayed procurement processes or conservative spending in administrative areas.

Overall, out of the Rs. 10.112 million final budget, only Rs. 1.592 million was spent, leaving Rs. 8.52 million unutilized, which means only around 15.7% of the total budget was utilized during the period.

The financial performance of Sub Division 5270 (Sports Activities), FR Kohat in 2025 reflects low budget utilization, with spending concentrated mainly on fuel, miscellaneous expenses, and asset procurement, while the core sports activity allocation of Rs. 8 million remained untouched. This suggests that although administrative preparations and supporting logistics were partially addressed, the main sports development initiatives were not implemented during the reporting period. Improved planning and timely execution would be essential to ensure that the allocated sports funds translate into actual sports development outcomes in the future.

Is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate for Sports Development or Profit?

musarrat ullah jan -
  Musarrat Ullah Jan – Kikxnow , digital Creator The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate is back in the limelight again — this time for the same reasons: bad financial management, discrimination against sportspersons, and no basic facilities. The recent controversy revolves around the Adil Khan Swimming Pool, where the administration has requested money for chlorine from individuals visiting to learn swimming. This request emerged even though the Directorate recently made a profit of Rs. 12 million from this very same swimming pool alone. The question is: if so much money has already been raised, why are the public and athletes being requested to pay for fundamentals such as chlorine? Surprisingly, the revenue of the Hayatabad Sports Complex swimming pool goes unused, but things are no different there. A few days ago, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Swimming Association made an appeal to the Director General of Sports, asking for facilities to train swimmers so they could prepare ...
