The Sports Ministry on Monday issued guidelines and timelines the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) and national sports federations (NSF) have to follow to conduct National Games and national championships.
According to a letter sent by the ministry, IOA must submit a copy of its agreement with the host and other agreements for hosting the National Games six months in advance. It has set timelines for IOA to submit details on forming the Games Technical Conduct Committee (GTCC), competition programme, eligibility criteria of participants/states and teams.
These are among a range of instructions.
Adhering to these instructions are mandatory to get the ministry's approval to hold the National Games and national championships.
