Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Tuesday said the passing of the National Sports Governance Bill in both houses of the Parliament will transform India's sporting landscape and make decision-making athlete-centric.

"...to bring good governance in the sports sector, National Sports Governance Bill, was passed in the Lok Sabha first and Rajya Sabha today. Through the Sports Governance Bill, the country will have an athlete-centric atmosphere, the federations will have transparency, there will be speed in dispute resolution," Mandaviya said.
"...along with this, women and para-athletes will get representation," he added The bill has three significant features. The National Sports Board, which will have the power to recognise and de-recognise NSFs, the National Sports Tribunal for speedy dispute resolution and the National Sports Election Panel (NSEP) to oversee federations' elections.
