Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, Mansukh Mandaviya, will introduce the National Sports Governance Bill, 2025 in the Lok Sabha on Monday. The bill is aimed at overhauling India’s sports administration by establishing a legal framework rooted in good governance, ethical practices, and athlete welfare.

The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, is designed to promote sports development, ensure ethical conduct, support sportspersons’ welfare, and introduce a unified mechanism for grievance redressal and dispute resolution in the sporting domain.
In other key parliamentary business for the day, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will move a resolution to amend the Second Schedule of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, aligning it with changes introduced in the First Schedule under the Finance Act, 2025.
