IOA

NEW DELHI: An empowered steering committee (ESC) has been set up by the Union Sports Ministry, based on the recommendations of the interim report of the Olympic Task Force.

The eight-member task force was set up in September 2016 to prepare a comprehensive action plan for effective participation of Indian sportspersons in the next three Olympic Games to be held in 2020 (Tokyo), 2024 (Paris) and 2028 (Los Angeles).

The Task Force, comprising stalwarts including Abhinav Bindra, Pullela Gopichand and Viren Rasquinha, submitted its report to the Sports Ministry last month.

SINGHS are Kings, and in the battle royale between the two Singhs, M S Gill and Raja Randhir Singh, the sports federations of the country are the foot soldiers suffering the most: penury, insecurity, stress and frustration. The key to the rebellion by the Indian Olympic Association was financial independence, which Raja Randhir Singh said that the IOA and federations will manage on their own.
