Ajay Maken, Union Minister for Youth Affairs & Sports has unveiled the revised draft National Sports Development Bill , 2011 today. Here are the details.

The new draft of the proposed national sports legislation continues to swear by the age and tenure caps imposed on office-bearers of national sports federations and national Olympic committees, but has done away with the ombudsman and the National Sports Development Council.
