India recently unveiled its National Sports Policy 2025 in New Delhi, aiming to boost sports development across the country. The policy emphasizes inclusion and seeks to promote a broad range of sports activities.
However, concerns have arisen as the policy lacks:
- Clear rights-based frameworks
- Measurable outcomes
- Accountability mechanisms
Experts note that despite its ambitious goals, the policy does not adequately address the needs of:
- Women athletes
- Transgender athletes
- Disabled athletes
This omission raises questions about true inclusivity in Indian sports. The sports community had hoped for stronger provisions to empower marginalized groups and ensure equal access to sports resources and opportunities.
Without tangible targets and oversight, there is a risk that the policy’s promises remain merely aspirational. Stakeholders call for urgent revisions to include comprehensive support for underrepresented athletes.
India’s new policy has the potential to transform the sports ecosystem but must do more to protect and empower all athletes fairly. Stay tuned for Space Sports for more latest updates.
