Prime minister Narendra Modi has reinforced his government’s commitment to cultivating sports talent in even the most remote areas of india with the introduction of the National sports Policy (NSP) 2025. This new policy is designed to be instrumental in transforming india into a global sporting powerhouse, focusing on inclusivity and infrastructure development to enhance the sporting ecosystem from grassroots to the Olympic podium, especially with an eye on the 2036 Olympic Games.
During his announcement, Modi stated, “We want to promote sports in far-flung areas. The National sports Policy will help in this matter,” underscoring the government’s aim to elevate sports across the country. The NSP 2025 replaces the outdated 2001 policy and lays out a strategic roadmap for nurturing athletic talent at all levels, providing institutional support and resources for aspiring athletes.
Modi also acknowledged the evolving perception of sports within society, expressing joy that children’s interest in sports now brings pride to their parents. He highlighted the importance of sports in national development and emphasized the government’s Khelo Bharat Policy, which aims to create a structured pathway from school-level sports to international competition.
However, the prime minister also addressed the rising health crisis related to obesity, warning that it could affect one in three individuals in the coming years. He urged citizens to prioritize fitness and health.
The NSP 2025 represents a significant step toward India’s long-term ambition of becoming a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India) and excelling on the international sporting stage, aligning sports development with national growth and well-being.
