Sindhu, Sakshi Malik who won medals, and Dipa Karmakar and others who came close have ensured that we have some reason to smile as they demonstrated that Indian sportspersons can compete at the highest levels in any world stage. Much has been said and written about India’s performance in the Rio 2016 Olympics. In any corporate context, the accountability for poor performance by a company rests on its management and the Board of Directors. Similarly, citizens and sports lovers as stakeholders should hold sports associations and sports administrators accountable for the performance of India at sporting events. InGovern has been a champion of good corporate governance in India. In this report, we aim to assess whether we can apply similar principles of governance to sports associations.

    GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF YOUTH AFFAIRS & SPORTS DOSSIER FOR THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE O N GOVERNMENT OF INDIA GUIDELINES ON GOOD GOVERNANCE IN SPORTS BODIES 1 INTRODUCTION 1. The Government of India recognises the IOC's commitment to the Olympic Charter, the fundamental principles of good governance and ethical values enshrined therein, and believes that the IOC would not support any body or organization, which contravenes the fundamental basis of the Olympic Movement viz., Good Governance and Ethical practices. 2. The Government of India, Ministry of Youth Affairs And Sports, issued a communication dated 1st May 2010 restoring ‘limits on the duration of tenure of office bearers of Indian Olympic Association and all recognized National Sports Federations’ (‘1st May 2010 communication’), in deference to the binding observations made by the High Court of Delhi in various proceedings regarding poor governance practices in National Sports Bodies in India, including the unrestricted tenures of office bearers of the Indian Olympic Association (‘IOA’), as well as National Sports Federations (‘NSFs’). Annexed herewith and marked as Annexure 1 is a copy of the 1st May 2010 communication issued by the Government of India, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. 2 3. The National Sports Policy 2001 recognizes that the management and development of sports are the function of the IOA and NSFs, which are autonomous bodies and which, in turn, have affiliated state level and district level associations. The Government and other concerned agencies and the Federations/ Associations have, therefore, to work together harmoniously and in a coordinated manner to fulfill the objectives of National Sports Policy 2001.

BHOGLE 27.1 FINAL (DO NOT DELETE) 12/19/2016 6:00 PM INTERNATIONAL SPORTS LAW PERSPECTIVE AMENABILITY OF INDIAN DOMESTIC SPORTS GOVERNING BODIES TO JUDICIAL REVIEW SATCHIT BHOGLE* I. INTRODUCTION Sports governing bodies wield enormous power, not only over the rights and interests of athletes and players, but also over the sports loving public. It is therefore essential that sports governing bodies exercise their power fairly. At the same time, sport demands that its governing bodies be allowed to make decisions autonomously and quickly, while also keeping in mind the particular requirements of each sport. Therefore, it must be asked whether, for the effective governance of sport, which includes the balancing of the interests of all stakeholders, including players, spectators, and investors (including sponsors and commercial rights holders), the decisions of sports bodies should be subject to judicial review. Some authors have begun with the hypothesis that a body, which governs a sport, even as the de facto governing body, ought to be one against which fundamental rights are enforceable.1 However, this article does not take such a normative position.

  • NEWSLETTER | JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH 2020 from the President’S Desk
    INDIAN OLYMPIC ASSOCIATION QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER | JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH 2020 From the President’s Desk Dear IOA Members and Colleagues, As you are all aware, an unprecedented situation confronts the world today due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These are testing times and we need to be brave and disciplined. In these challenging times, the safety and well-being of our athletes is of utmost importance and all support must be extended to ensure the same. It is also heartening that a large number of IOA members have pledged support towards the PM Cares Fund for the cause of our nation’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. This truly magnanimous and generous response from our National Sports Federations, State Olympic Associations and Executive Council Members is extremely heartening in this time of need and I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. Due to the constantly changing environment and the resulting postponement of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, the new dates for the Games of the XXXII Olympiad have been announced and they are scheduled to be held from 23 July 2021 to 8 August 2021. I am sure that all Olympic NSFs have shared communication about the postponement with their qualified and probable athletes. I congratulate all athletes who have achieved Tokyo Olympic qualification in the last quarter. I hope you will work towards bettering your sporting performance in the run up to the Games. Further, in view of this postponement, I request the NSFs to start planning towards our Olympic goal once the remaining Olympic qualification events are announced and the prevailing situation due to COVID-19 normalises.

  • States Indian Men's Hockey Team Defender Harmanpreet Singh
    "Atmosphere & energy you get from fans is what we all play for," states Indian Men's Hockey Team Defender Harmanpreet Singh ~ On the three year anniversary of the Odisha Men's Hockey World League Final Bhubaneswar 2017, the 24-year-old drag- flicker recalled fond memories of his team's Bronze Medal win at the tournament which was played under the electric atmosphere of the Kalinga Stadium ~ Bengaluru, 01 December 2020: Three years ago, on this same day, the Indian Men's Hockey Team took to the field at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar for their opening match of the Odisha Men's Hockey World League Final 2017 against eventual winners Australia in a match which ended all square at 1-1. It was a tournament which saw Indian Defender Harmanpreet Singh stake his claim in the team, with some fine performances as India claimed a Bronze Medal in front of their home support. "It was definitely one of the biggest tournaments for me, and especially with the Senior Team. Having won the FIH Junior Men's World Cup in 2016, the Odisha Men's Hockey World League Final 2017 gave me the chance to experience the thrills of playing the highest form of hockey at the grandest of stages," expressed Harmanpreet. "We did not have the best of starts in our Pool matches, but I think we finished the tournament really strongly. However, what I really learned from that tournament was the fact that if you keep pushing hard, you'll eventually achieve your goals, regardless of which or how big an opponent you're facing," added the drag-flicker, whose team lost 2-3 to England, 0-2 to Germany after their first Pool match against Australia.
