Explanation: Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) has become the nodal ministry for online gaming.

• Appointment of MeitY as central regulatory authority will provide clarity and certainty to investors, industry and consumers.
• In absence of a nodal ministry, online gaming intersects with multiple ministries including MeitY, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, and Ministry of Sports.
• The decision is in line with government’s initiative to push for growth of animation, visual effects, gaming and comics (AVGC) sector and making India a global hub for online gaming.
