    India's Olympic Task Force makes strong recommendations
  • The Olympic Task Force, a body formed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2016, submitted its final report which includes some strong recommendations to uplift India's performance in the upcoming Olympic events.

    One of the major recommendations was regarding re-structuring of Sports Authority of India, which was set up in 1984.

    Let us have a look at the suggestions of this committee.

  • In the 144-page report, the committee has suggested replacing the government officials in the Sports Authority of India with professionals and specialists.

    It also stated that the authority should be given financial autonomy and be allowed to raise its own resources to run various programs.

    In the past, SAI has faced severe criticism from the athletes due to poor facilities provided to them.

    Overlook preparation of elite athletes

  • The committee suggested that SAI should look after only the preparation of elite athletes. The report stated that SAI should only run academies of excellence- mainly for 17+ players who are at the train-to-compete and train-to-win stage.

    To give more importance to coaches, the report stated that the salary cap on coaches should be removed and they should be paid at par with the vice-chancellor of a university.
