In a bid to strengthen India’s bid for 2036 Olympics, the sports ministry has set up a six-member committee to revise the norms for providing assistance to National Sports Federations (NSFs).
This will be done keeping in mind the ’emerging challenges’ that India is facing in its intent to host the 2036 Olympic Games.
Joint secretary (sports) Kunal will lead the committee, including, executive director (Teams) Ritu Pathik, Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) CEO N.S. Johal, former TOPS CEO commodore (Retd) P.K. Garg, and president of Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWF) Sahdev Yadav.
Yadav is also the treasurer of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA).
“The undersigned is directed to say that the norms of providing financial assistance to National Sports Federations (NSFs) under the Scheme of Assistance to NSFs were revived by the Ministry vide letter dated 28.2.2022,” a note marked to all members of the committee, Tarun Pareek, said.
“…a new Olympic Cycle has started which necessitated the need for a review of the norms in view of the evolving circumstances, which demand a comprehensive review to address the emerging challenges and India’s aspiration to host 2036 Olympic Games,” read the circular.
“Accordingly, it has been decided to constitute a committee consisting of the following to suggest the revised norms of the scale of assistance for various components under the Scheme of Assistance to NSFs.”
