The Rajasthan Sports (Registration, Recognition and Regulation of Associations) Act, 2005

General200538 sections

This legislation regulates sports bodies, governing how sports associations across Rajasthan at the state, district, and primary levels are registered, structured, and managed. It applies to all official state and district sports associations, excluding primary local units from compulsory registration while requiring higher-level bodies to register with the Registrar of Co-operative Societies. The law enforces democratic practices by mandating regular elections by secret ballot, transparent accounting, and annual sports events. It prohibits unauthorized bodies from using state or district names to represent Rajasthan in national sports. This framework ensures transparency, fair representation, and accountability in sports administration.
