Ioa presidents

The Indian Olympic Association: The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) on Friday successfully concluded its Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Ahmedabad, bringing together representatives of National Sports Federations, athletes’ representatives, and IOA office-bearers to review recent initiatives and outline the roadmap for the Olympic movement in India.

At the commencement of the AGM, the House paid solemn tribute to the memory of two former IOA Presidents and other departed members of the IOA family. Members observed a moment of silence in their honour, acknowledging their enduring contributions to Indian sport and expressing condolences to their families.

During the meeting, the AGM reviewed and noted the progress made by the IOA in recent months, with emphasis on strengthening athlete representation through a more empowered Athletes’ Commission to ensure that athletes’ voices remain central to policy formulation and decision-making. The House also took note of governance reforms introduced to enhance transparency, compliance, and ethical standards in line with international best practices.
