The Government of India launched the 10-year Khelo India Mission in the Union Budget 2026-27 to transform the nation's sports ecosystem.
The Khelo India Mission is a strategic 10-year transformation plan announced in the Union Budget 2026-27 to shift from limited talent identification to a comprehensive, system-wide sports reform. It addresses structural gaps such as fragmented athlete pathways and insufficient infrastructure by integrating sports with mainstream education through new initiatives like Khelo India Feeder Schools. The initiative aims to align sports with India's broader development goals, including youth employment, skilling, and manufacturing. This marks a shift toward positioning India as a global sporting powerhouse in line with the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision.
Sports is a subject in the State List under the Seventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution, though the Union Government plays a proactive role in policy and national infrastructure development. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports is the nodal ministry responsible for the development of sports in India.
Duration of the mission: 10 years
Allocation for sports goods manufacturing: 500 crore INR
New school initiatives: Khelo India Feeder Schools and Khelo India Utkrishta Vidyalayas
Effective date for strengthened Assistance to National Sports Federations (ANSF) scheme: 2026-2031
