The list of National Sports Federations (NSF) granted annual recognition by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports is out after an inordinate delay. Comprising 54 NSFs, it has ruffled feathers because the ‘annual’ recognition is only until September 30. Besides, the absence of Archery Association of India, Rowing Federation of India and Paralympic Committee of India is glaring.
The continued presence of the Equestrian Federation of India has also raised eyebrows, considering that it not only is in blatant violation of the National Sports Development Code of India 2011 but also may not have met the deadline of March 31 to submit a roadmap for Code-compliance.
In keeping with a February 7 Delhi High Court order that both the Ministry and the Indian Olympic Association should inform the Court when making any decision in relation to the NSFs, the Ministry has filed an affidavit before the Delhi High Court, informing it of the decision to grant recognition to 54 NSFs till September 30 this year.
