Cabinet greenlights Khelo Bharat Niti, 2025

India just got serious about sports!
The government has approved the Khelo Bharat Niti, a new policy aiming to push India into the world's top five sporting nations by 2047.
Announced by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, this move is part of PM Modi's long-term vision to boost sports over the next two decades, building on years of grassroots efforts.

TL;DR

Khelo Bharat Niti focuses on inclusive sporting culture

Khelo Bharat Niti is all about spotting and supporting talent in rural areas, making sure no potential athlete slips through the cracks.
It also wants to get everyone—yes, everyone—more involved in sports and make it a regular part of life across India.
The big idea: create an inclusive sporting culture that inspires more people to play and dream big.
