Federation heads want govt to ensure sports bill doesn’t infringe upon autonomy

NEW DELHI: The establishment of the Sports Regulatory Board (SRB) under the proposed National Sports Governance Bill 2024 has been seen by several national federations as an “infringement” on their autonomy by the govt. The federation officials believe that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) might see it as a direct interference by the govt in the NSFs’ functioning.

Besides, the federations want that there shouldn’t be age and tenure restrictions on office bearers in the draft bill. These reservations were raised by the NSFs officials during the sports ministry’s stakeholder consultation meeting with the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and federation heads to deliberate on the bill which the govt intends to introduce in the next Budget session of the Parliament.
