The Board, consists of non-official members and a Chairman (all of whom are appointed by Central Government) and functions with headquarters at Mumbai. It has nine Regional offices, one each at Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Thiruvananthapuram, Hyderabad, New Delhi, Cuttack and Guwahati, each focusing on individual sections of Games and the genres and release platforms.
The Regional Offices are assisted in the examination of Games by Advisory Panels. The members of the panels are nominated by Central Government by drawing legendary Indian gamers from different genres of games for a period of 2 years. Panel members often selected not through any evaluative procedure and rather through the exposure and milestones created by their unmatched skills in various game(s), exhibition of extraordinary talents in league championship titles over the world, visionary and revolutionary mindset shown about "how to play a game differently".

90% of the funds allocated to the board will be eaten by whoever runs this thing, and fail at the actual classification.
Don't think so, unless that guy is named Ganesha or something. That was what Fallout did wasn't it? Designed and named a monster basing on a hindu god.

Keep dreaming
. And forget a legendary gamer, you wouldn't even have a person who knows any game apart from horse racing or cards. Look at the state of the sports federations in India, what can you expect for us then? We'll probably be better off only if we keep spamming them on twitter,FB,email, and maybe add in a couple of DDoSes. But when have our politicians ever learned??
Btw your act/law seems really good though for the guys who get in, they can keep upgrading every few months and have a steam account like this CrystalTheory

i object this
Lord Ganesha consists of Half-men & Half-animal

To fight on par with kratos, one should look badass atleast as him. Even the GoW wikia says, this character (Elephantaur) appears to have been inspired by the Hindu God Ganesh.i object this

^^ and recent war games have developed quite an aggressive stance against terrorism, covert ops, open war, nuclear threats, ASN operations...may will have an impact on the India's so called patience over oncoming threats from its friendly neighborhoods (specially Pakistan) ...people might get agitated, triggering a political melodrama in parliament assuming responsibility of games to accelerate exploitation of violence in foreign soil, which Indian government has so far failed to observe and sustained spineless peace with hostile middle-east extremists.
