CWG 2030 preparations: Sports Ministry to engage IT Consultants in NSFs

NEW DELHI: (May 28) The Sports Ministry on Thursday said it would be deploying IT Consultants in National Sports Federations (NSFs) to strengthen their digital systems for better coordination during the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad.

The plan is part of the broader framework of the National Sports Digital Ecosystem (NSDE). However, the ministry did not specify the timeline, criteria or the number of professionals per federation that it would be looking to hire. The Sports Ministry currently recognises over 40 national federations.

“The initiative is aimed at streamlining federation-specific digital systems and enabling more effective planning for competitions, national coaching camps, athlete participation, governance processes and real-time coordination as India prepares to build a stronger sporting ecosystem ahead of the 2030 Commonwealth Games and its long-term Olympic ambitions,” Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said on the first-time endeavour through a press release.
