Dr. Mandaviya Launches Digilocker For Athletes, Aims For Seamless Record-keeping And Faster Benefits
Outgoing Sports Secretary Sujata Chaturvedi: In a significant move aimed at streamlining the documentation process for athletes, Sports Minister Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya launched the Digilocker facility for sportspeople, making it mandatory for national federations to digitize certificates and key documents within a year.
The initiative was formally launched in the presence of representatives from 40 National Sports Federations and several athletes, including Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Mirabai Chanu and hockey player Jarmanpreet Singh.
The new digital platform, developed by Digital India Corporation (DIC) under the Ministry of Electronics and IT, will allow athletes to securely store, verify, and access their documents. The system’s goal is to eliminate hurdles such as unverified certificates, which sometimes prevent athletes from accessing job opportunities or financial benefits.
