==History==
The Ministry was set up as the Department of Sports at the time of organisation of [[1982 Asian Games]] New Delhi. Its name was changed to the Department of Youth Affairs & Sports during celebration of the [[International Youth Year]], 1985. It became a separate Ministry on 27 May 2000. Subsequently, In 2008, the Ministry has been bifurcated into Department of Youth Affairs and Department of Sports under two separate [[Departmental secretary|Secretaries]].<ref>{{cite web | title = Introduction | publisher = Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports | url = http://yas.nic.in/en/yas2/introduction | access-date = 2014-08-13 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140814052056/http://yas.nic.in/en/yas2/introduction | archive-date = 14 August 2014 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

==Department of Youth Affairs==
Unlike the sports department, many of the functions of the department are related to other ministries, like Ministry of Education, Employment & Training, Health and Family Welfare thus it functions largely as a facilitator for youth building.

===Definition of Youth===
The [[United Nations]] defines "Youth" as 15–24 years<ref>{{cite web | title = Youth | publisher = UNESCO | url = http://www.unesco.org/new/en/social-and-human-sciences/themes/youth/ | access-date = 2014-08-13 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130720071634/http://www.unesco.org/new/en/social-and-human-sciences/themes/youth/ | archive-date = 20 July 2013 | url-status = live }}</ref> and in the Commonwealth, it is 15–29 years. In order to use a definition more in line with these international standards, the Draft NYP 2012 changes the definition from 13–35 years to 16–30 years.<ref>{{cite web| title = Draft National Youth Policy 2012 seeks a shift in youth age bracket| publisher = Indian Express| url = http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/draft-national-youth-policy-2012-seeks-a-shift-in-youth-age-bracket/1073409/0| author = Prasad Joshi| date = 13 February 2013| access-date = 2014-08-13| archive-url = https://archive.is/20140813084501/http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/draft-national-youth-policy-2012-seeks-a-shift-in-youth-age-bracket/1073409/0| archive-date = 13 August 2014| url-status = live}}</ref> The draft NYP 2012 plans to divide the age bracket of 16–30 years into three groups.<ref>{{cite web|title=Draft policy redefines 16-30 age group as youth|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/253648/draft-policy-redefines-16-30.html|publisher=Deccan Herald|date=31 May 2012|access-date=2014-08-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714164842/http://www.deccanherald.com/content/253648/draft-policy-redefines-16-30.html|archive-date=14 July 2014|url-status=live}}</ref>
