National Sports Federations in India

New Delhi :  Government of India deals only with the national sports federations in India (NSFs) and grants recognition to them to become eligible to receive financial as well as other forms of assistance. Only 56 NSFs are recognised by the Government for different sports disciplines .

This information was given by Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Youth Affairs and Sports Kiren Rijiju in a written reply to the Lok Sabha today.

He said that normally, elections are held by the NSFs at the intervals prescribed under the bye-laws of the concerned NSFs.

In order to ensure that NSFs function in a democratic manner, Government has prescribed model election guidelines to be followed by the NSFs for their elections which has been made an integral part of the National Sports Development Code of India, 2011 (NSDCI).

He informed that NSDCI, inter-alia, contains instructions on democratic and healthy management practices, age and tenure limits of office bearers, holding of elections as per model election guidelines devised by the Government, etc.

The Minister also said that from the year 2010, the Government has introduced a system of annual recognition procedure for the NSFs, under which annual recognition is granted to those NSFs which comply with the provisions of NSDCI including holding of elections in time.
