The International Olympic Academy congratulated the IOA on the reactivation of the National Olympic Academy of India, recognising this decision as an important institutional step towards strengthening the Olympic Movement in India through education, values-based leadership and long-term capacity-building.

IOA reactivated the National Olympic Academy (NOA) on January 9. NOA serves as India's main hub for Olympic education, research, and dialogue. In addition to its academic and institutional functions, the NOA will collaborate directly with athletes to support their educational requirements, personal growth, leadership development, and comprehension of the Olympic movement, all alongside their athletic careers.
