NEW DELHI: None of India's national sports federations (NSF) stand recognised by the sports ministry in the current year, as all of them are awaiting renewal of their annual recognition since November 2021, TOI has learnt. This has impacted the federations' plans to conduct their national championships and other domestic events in the country.
A federation receives an annual grant of Rs 22 lakh under the scheme of assistance to NSFs from the ministry for organising a senior (Rs 5 lakh), junior (Rs 7 lakh) and sub-junior national (Rs 10 lakh). But without recognition, the NSFs haven't been able to receive this money.
