The present research was aimed to study the opinion of the body-builders about government policy to promote body-building as a sport. The research adopted the survey method to conduct the research by using random sampling technique on total 100 respondents. The data was collected by administrating a self made questionnaire. The findings of the study show that there is a lack of favorable government support to promote the performance of bodybuilders at international level as well as also at national level. A large portion of respondents gave the responses in opposite to the government policies and programs for bodybuilders. So, the sportspersons are finding no bright future in bodybuilding and so they are avoiding going in the area of bodybuilding and those who have already chosen bodybuilding are having low motivation for performance.
