Correct answer: D
Concept
An Act is identified by its official short title, which signals the statute’s subject and scope. In a current-affairs question with similar titles, match the exact enacted title with the institution, year, and stated purpose.
Application
Parliament passed the National Sports Governance Bill in August 2025, and it became the National Sports Governance Act, 2025 after receiving presidential assent on 18 August 2025. The Act provides a comprehensive framework for governance, ethical practices, athlete welfare, and dispute resolution in Indian sport. Therefore, the answer is National Sports Governance Act, 2025.
Contrast
Sports Ethics Act, 2025 narrows the title to ethics; ethics is a chapter within the enacted governance law, not its official short title.
Athletic Federation Act, 2025 suggests legislation limited to athletics federations, whereas the enacted framework covers recognised sports organisations more broadly.
Sports Code, 2025 describes a code rather than the Act enacted by Parliament in 2025.
National Sports Governance Act, 2025 is the official short title recorded for Act No. 25 of 2025.
Cross-check
India Code records the enactment date as 18 August 2025 and the short title as The National Sports Governance Act, 2025. A Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports release also records passage by the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha before presidential assent.
