A part of the Goa's sports infrastructure bill, Rs.82 crore, is funded by a one-time grant from the central government.
"It was something done by the last government. If we did not fulfill their commitment, they would blame us for it," Tawadkar said.
"The other reason we chose to go ahead is if the next generations can avail of good infrastructure because of the Games, it can only be good," Tawadkar said.
The Lusofonia Games begin Jan 18 this year and will feature nine sporting disciplines like athletics, basketball, beach volleyball, football, judo, table tennis, taekwondo, volleyball and wushu.
