According to the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, unlike the 2013 Draft National Sports Development Bill, the 2024 Sports Bill lays emphasis on building institutional capacity and governance standards for National Sports Federations [NSF] in alignment with the Olympic and Paralympic Charter.
The ministry's decision came after the newly elected WFI President Sanjay Singh announced that the nationals for U-16 and U20 will take place in Nandini Nagar of Gonda in Uttar Pradesh before the end of this year.
