New Delhi: The much awaited National Sports Governance Bill 2025 will be tabled in Parliament on Wednesday.
A source in the sports ministry told UNI that once passed, all Sports Federations, and boards will be regulated by the bill.
In an apparent reference to the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI), the source said that even those Sports bodies that don't take financial assistance from the government will be under its purview.
The source said that through the bill government aims to ensure that it does not control sports but act more like a facilitator as National Sports federations will be autonomous bodies.
The bill is in allignment with the Olympic charter, and will provide for a sports Tribunal to settle disputes.
"Like other countries the tribunal will have dedicated sports lawyers to work on the cases, earlier the problem was that sports related institute high courts, and often two different High court would give contradictory judgements, now a centralised tribunal will decide on these cases" said the source.
