April 12, 2026

THE Central government has directed every ministry and department to reach out to the public and highlight the positive outcomes of the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, which has formalised e-sports, social and educational gaming, and criminalised real-money online gaming.

It has also directed the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) to highlight the adverse effects of illegal online gaming in society. “Secretaries and officers of ministries/departments should make all possible efforts and use all opportunities to highlight positive outcomes for society initiated by the government through the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, and share details with the Cabinet Secretariat,” stated Union Cabinet Secretary TV Somanathan in the directives to all the secretaries and officers of ministries and departments this week.
