Gandhinagar: How could the 2036 Olympics, if hosted by Ahmedabad, impact the city and Gujarat? The findings will play a crucial role in shaping the commitments outlined in the 'Host City Contract', with a focus on fostering long-term benefits and sustainable development for the host communities. The Gujarat govt has enlisted the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) to conduct an in-depth analysis of the socio-economic and environmental impacts of hosting the prestigious event. Commissioned by the Gujarat Sports Infrastructure Development Company (GSIDC Ltd), and to be conducted over the next six months, the studies aim to evaluate the potential impacts on Ahmedabad and Gujarat, ensuring alignment with global sustainability standards. The studies will focus on identifying and standardizing relevant environmental metrics, design of a stakeholder engagement framework for environmental assessment, and assessment of carbon emissions associated with the Games. Top govt sources said that these studies are mandated as part of the requirements for Olympic bid evaluation and host city selection. "The findings from these studies will influence commitments in the Host City Contract and will require continuous monitoring, with reporting obligations at one, five and 10-year intervals after the Games," sources said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Watches Under 20,000, Buy Now Sale Is Live Luxury Watches Shop Now Undo You Can Also Check: Ahmedabad AQI | Weather in Ahmedabad | Bank Holidays in Ahmedabad | Public Holidays in Ahmedabad | Gold Rates Today in Ahmedabad | Silver Rates Today in Ahmedabad Stating that independent third-party verification and validation of the studies are also required, official sources said, "The primary purpose of these studies is to ensure that the Games contribute positively to host communities, support sustainable development, and create measurable long-term benefits beyond the event."

National Sports Governance Bill Clears Rajya Sabha: Here's What It Means For Athletes
News18 has learnt that the sports ministry is moving swiftly to frame rules for its implementation The Rajya Sabha on Tuesday passed the long-pending National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, despite loud protests and sloganeering from the opposition. The government, determined to push the reform through in the ongoing monsoon session, hailed it as a landmark step towards overhauling sports administration in the country. CNN-News18 has learnt that the sports ministry is moving swiftly to frame rules for its implementation. 'Eighty per cent of the work is already done, and the notification should be out in the next couple of months," a senior government source said. Once notified, the National Sports Board (NSB) will be constituted to recognise and regulate national and state-level sports federations. The bill also paves the way for a National Sports Election Panel to ensure fair, dispute-free elections across federations. This panel will be made up of members experienced in conducting federation polls, aiming to avoid legal entanglements that have plagued Indian sports bodies in the past. Athletes, especially women, will be central to decision-making, with mandatory Athletes' Committees in all federations. For the first time, a statutory minimum of four women on every Executive Committee. The bill proposes aligning Indian sports governance with the Olympic and Paralympic Charters, ensuring that the country is better positioned to host major international events, including a potential bid for the 2036 Olympics. India's sports landscape has long been plagued by controversies, from court battles over federation elections to mismanagement and a lack of athlete representation. Currently, more than 350 court cases regarding sports federations are pending, creating serious hurdles in governance and sports promotion. By embedding transparency, athlete representation, and gender equity into the law, the bill aims to not just reform administration but also strengthen India's image as a global sporting power. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
