2. The National Sports Development Code of India, 2011 established good governance practices for sports bodies, essential for healthy development of sports in the country. It provided framework for recognition of sports organisations, including Indian Olympic Association, as sports bodies for the regulation of sports in India. However, there is a felt need for a comprehensive legislation to improve the governance of the sports bodies and achieve better results in sports and reduce the disputes and litigation, inter alia, involving sports federations. There is an imperative need to curb factionalism, and administrative interventions which adversely affects the organised development of sports and related activities in India and also for its better presentation before the international sports community.
