🏟️ A New Era for Indian Sports Governance: Bill Introduced in Lok Sabha

A major step toward transforming India's sports ecosystem is underway. The National Sports Governance Bill, recently introduced in the Lok Sabha, aims to bring accountability, transparency, and structure to how sports are managed in the country.

Here’s what the bill proposes:

🔹 One Unified National Sports Board:

For the first time, all sports federations—including the BCCI—will be brought under one centralized board. This body will oversee their functioning, ensure compliance with national standards, and enable access to government funding.

🔹 Creation of a National Sports Tribunal:

A game-changing feature—this independent tribunal will act like a civil court to resolve disputes related to:

Team selections

Federation elections

Athlete grievances

This provides a structured redressal system, something long needed in Indian sports administration.

Why does this matter?

India has immense sporting talent, but administrative bottlenecks, lack of transparency, and internal politics often hold athletes back. This bill promises to streamline decision-making and create a fair, decentralized, and performance-oriented system.

If passed, this will be a landmark moment—ushering in a governance model where athletes and accountability come first.
