PT Usha, president of the Indian Olympic Association and nominated member of the Rajya Sabha, on Tuesday, gave her clear support to the National Sports Administration Bill, saying that it would be helpful in ending the stable status quo for decades. Apart from this, there will be transparency and accountability in the sports administration of the country. Let me tell you that this Vidhi was also passed from the Rajya Sabha after the Billi Lok Sabha.
In fact, during a discussion on the bill passed by the Lok Sabha on Monday, Usha appreciated its provisions. Which also includes the establishment of the National Sports Board. After which there will be the highest right to recognize the Sports Federations (NSF). Connection with NSB will be mandatory to obtain a central fund.
Explain that, the Bill also proposes to monitor the elections of the National Sports Tribunal and the National Sports Election Panel to deal with sports disputes. Addressing the House, Usha, who was sitting with another nominated member Sudha Murthy, said that, today is very important at individual and national level. I had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
He opposed the Bill last year and described it as government intervention and warned that India could have to pay a ban from the International Olympic Committee. However, he has changed his views after extensive deliberations with Sports Minister Mansukh Mandavia.
