Merger of Youth Affairs and Sports departments on the anvil?
By Indian Mandarins- 13 Dec 2019
318If top sources are to be believed, the NaMo administration is
considering the merger of departments under the Ministry of Sports and Youth
Affairs. Reportedly, the matter has already been discussed with Prime Minister who
had apparently given his consent but then he was not in haste to implement the
merger of Department of Youth Affairs and Department of Sports. When the
outgoing Youth Affairs Secretary Ms Upma Choudhary (IAS:1983:HP) is retiring this month and
Radhey Shyam Julania (IAS:1985:MP) may remain as the torch bearer in the ministry.
Amid the new list of Secretary level appointments and reshuffle under process possibility
of the merger of the two departments may not be ruled out. Experts say that there is a thin demarcation line between the
two departments. Broadly, sport is the main constituency of youth affairs as
sports is primarily about youths. It is understood that 65-70 per cent of the
matter pertaining to youth affairs is directly/indirectly linked with sports
whereas youth affairs is about instilling sportsman spirit, team-building and
collectiveness among youths. Those in the know of the affairs say that in case the two
departments are merged together, it would be nothing but a logical consequence
of the commonality of the two domains and NaMo Govt’s tagline ‘Minium
Government & Maximum Governance”.
