Share FacebookTwitterWhatsAppPinterestLinkedinCopy URLTelegramEmailTumblrReddItPrintKoo NEW DELHI, Jan 13: The Sports Ministry has asked every national federation to constitute a “Committee on International Relations” to ensure better cooperation with world bodies on issues such as joint training programmes and hosting of major competitions in India. In addition, it has also asked National Sports Federations (NSFs) to constitute “Make in India in Sports Committees” to engage with Indian manufacturers, start-ups, research institutions, and testing and standardisation bodies to bolster the sports manufacturing ecosystem. In its communication to the NSFs, the ministry said the international relations committee should comprise senior members of the federation, former international athletes, coaches and “subject experts with proven experience in global sports administration and diplomacy.” “The details of the Committee, including its composition and terms of reference, may kindly be communicated to this Ministry within 30 days from the date of issuance of this advisory,” the Ministry letter to the NSFs, which is in possession of PTI, stated.

Key Highlights

  • The advisory comes a few days after Sports Secretary Hari Ranjan Rao urged NSF officials to leave day-to-day administration to CEOs and focus on building ties internationally for India’s benefit.
  • “You are the vision builders, you are not administrators.
  • You require professional administrators in your organisation who handle the day-to-day business while you network with international bodies and plan the pyramid of growth,” he had stated in Ahmedabad last week.
  • “You should be able to facilitate a process by which our leadership is on first name basis with the international body representatives,” he had said while unveiling the medal strategy for the next decade.
  • The ministry advisory said the decision to advise the formation of such a committee was based on “the rapidly evolving global sports environment.” The committee will be entrusted with the task of monitoring developments in their respective International Federation (IF), Continental Federation (CF), including changes in competition rules and structures, and governance frameworks and elections.
