The government has constituted a six-member committee to revise the norms for providing financial assistance to National Sports Federations.

According to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, the committee will be headed by Joint Secretary (sports). The Ministry said after the Paris Olympics, a new Olympic Cycle has started which necessitated the need for review of the norms in view of the evolving circumstances. The Committee will submit its report within 15 days.

The norms for providing financial assistance to National Sports Federations were last revised by the Ministry in 2022. The Central government has been extending financial assistance to the National Sports Federations under its Scheme of Assistance for various sports activities including training and participation of Indian sportspersons and teams in international tournaments.
