About The Conference

In India, National Sports Day was celebrated for the first time on 29th August 2012. Since then, National Sports Day is celebrated every year to celebrate the birth anniversary of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand who secured three Olympic golds - 1928, 1932, and 1936. The “Wizard” (as popularly called) scored over 400 goals in his 22 years long career spanning from 1926 to 1948. In this continuation, Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University (HNBGU- Central University) and REVA University in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports is organizing an international conference on sports law. The primary objective of the conference is to underline the vital role of the Sport’s Governing Bodies (SGBs) such as IOC, WADA, CAS, and NADOs in providing a level playing field to the participants. It aims to disseminate awareness about the dispute settlement mechanism in sports. It will provide a forum to the professionals, academicians, and students to deliberate on the contemporary issues of sports law and its interface with other areas as contract law, labor law, IPR, etc.

The organisers are planning to publish an edited book on sports law and which will be published by a reputed international publisher Routledge/Springer.
