National Sports Governance Bill: After years of brainstorming and discussions with the elite sports bodies around the world, the National Sports Governance Bill 2025 has come to fruition and is ready to transform the sporting landscape in the country.

The highlights of the bill, which is set to be tabled by sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Wednesday in the ongoing monsoon session of the parliament, include ensuring transparency, fairness and good governance in the country's sports ecosystem.

While the focus is on the smooth functioning of the national sports bodies without any political or any other pressure and bringing them under one umbrella. Not only that, the bill also has a proposal of setting up a Sports Tribunal to address any dispute between the sports bodies, players and office-bearers. However, courts retain judicial review powers; Tribunal only enables faster resolution.
