PIB News Update: The National Sports Development Code of India (NSDCI) 2011 has been operational since 2011 and is applicable on National Sports Federations. NSDCI provides for guidelines for granting government recognition to National Sports Federations (NSFs) as also procedure for suspension/derecognition of such NSFs which violates the provisions of NSDCI. Recognition is renewed on yearly basis and in the event of failure to adhere to NSDCI, recognition is not renewed. As the provisions of the NSDCI are not applicable on State level bodies, the Ministry does not deal with them. Information relating to present status of recognition of National Sports Federations is at Annexure -I.
A draft for the new sports code, namely, National Code for Good Governance in Sports, 2017 has been prepared on which comments and suggestions of stakeholders have been obtained. An Expert Committee headed by a retired Judge of the Supreme Court of India has been constituted to examine the Draft Code, hold consultations with stakeholders and give its recommendations.
