Abhinav Bindra-led Task Force charts roadmap for sports administration reform
The Statesman Delhi
|December 31, 2025
As India sharpens its ambition to break into the top 10 sporting nations by 2036 and build momentum towards hosting the Olympic Games, the government has turned its focus to strengthening the country’s sports administration backbone.
As part of this effort, the department constituted a Task Force on Capacity Building of Sports Administrators, chaired by Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra, to develop a structured roadmap for enhancing administrative capability across the sporting ecosystem. The Task Force has recently submitted its report to the Sports department for consideration.
The report underscores that achieving a transformative vision for Indian sport, including ambitions such as hosting the Olympic Games, will require a cadre of professional, accountable and future-ready sports administrators. It stresses that governance reforms must run parallel to athlete development and infrastructure growth.
