India's National Sports Governance Act, 2025, aims to reform over 40,000 privately-controlled sports federations, addressing low participation rates despite their governing role. The Act establishes a National Sports Board, Tribunal, and Election Panel to regulate sports bodies, promote athlete participation, and ensure fair elections, addressing decades of disorganization and reliance on government funding. This legislation follows administrative instructions and court interventions, seeking to create a structured sports pyramid from district to national levels, fostering good governance and athlete development.
