Sports Ministry derecognizes Yoga 15 months after being declared a sport 15 months after Yoga was declared as a sport in India in September 2015 with the approval from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the decision has been reversed and has been once again derecognized as a sport. The sports ministry communicated to all the National Sports Federations and the Sports Authority of India (SAI)
that “Yoga can’t be termed as a sport.” Yoga was added in the list of priority sports but the government has found out that it has many dimensions and it will not be possible to conduct competitions in Yoga. The sports ministry will no longer look after Yoga and it has now gone back to the AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy) ministry.
