Sports Governance Bill 2025 Introduced in Parliament
The government has proposed a new Sports Governance Bill.
This bill aims to create official groups to manage different sports in the country.
These groups would oversee things like the Olympics and other sports.
The Bill includes a governing body for each sport.
The BCCI, which runs cricket, will be included under this new bill.
This means the government will now have a say in how the BCCI operates.
This is a big change because the BCCI was previously independent.
Sports Governance Bill 2025 introduced in Parliament by Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya.
The bill proposes establishing national sports governing bodies for recognised sports.
These bodies include the National Olympic Committee and National Sports Federations.
BCCI will be included as a National Sports Federation.
BCCI will be covered under a sports bill for the first time.
