Sports Ministry Allows IOA 16-Member Executive Council Following IOC Recommendation
The Sports Ministry has granted the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) an exemption to maintain a 16-member Executive Council, despite the National Sports Governance Act's limit of 15 members. This decision follows the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) recommendation to keep the council size unchanged to comply with international federation statutes. The IOA recently amended its constitution to meet other governance requirements and plans to hold elections later this year.
