Focus on TOPS list as new-look MOC set for 1st significant meet today
The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram|January 07, 2025
NEW Year, new dawn, so it seems for the sports ministry's Mission Olympic Cell that is expected to meet on Tuesday.
- Indraneel Das @Chennai

This would be the first meeting of the year. The meeting holds significance because of India's not so impressive show at the Olympics last year and the focus, besides other topics of sports development and training, could be on the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) list.

The meeting is expected to be attended by sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya as well. It will also be kind of a warm-up for newly-appointed Chief Executive Officer Nachhatar Singh Johal. The first challenge for the Olympian in the hot seat would be pruning or weeding out the TOPS list. This could be one of the priorities of the MOC when they meet.
