Rallia Ram, 8, 9 - GD Sondhi Background and early years : The background behind the creation of the Indian Olympic Association was related to India 's participation in the 1920 and 1924 Olympics. After the 1920 Games, the committee sending the team to these games met, and, on the advice of Sir Dorab Tata, invited Dr. Noehren ( Physical Education Director of YMCA India ) to be secretary, along with AS Bhagwat, of the provisional Indian Olympic Committee ; Dorab Tata would serve as its president. Subsequently, in 1923 - 24, a provisional All India Olympic Committee was formed, and the All India Olympic Games ( that later became the National Games of India ) were held in Feb 1924. Eight athletes from these games were selected to represent India at the 1924 Paris Olympics, accompanied by manager Harry Crowe Buck. This gave impetus to the development and institutionalization of sports in India, and, in 1927, the Indian Olympic Association ( IOA ), was created at the initiative of Harry Crowe Buck and Dr. A.G. Noehren ( both of the Madras ( YMCA ) College of Physical Education ). Sir Dorab Tata was important in financing and supporting the movement and became the first Indian Olympic Association president in 1927. Messrs Buck and Noehren travelled across India and helped many states organise their Olympic associations. Noehren was the first Secretary and G.D. Sondhi was the first assistant secretary of the Indian Olympic Association, and, after Noehren resigned in 1938, Sondhi and S.M. Moinul Haq became the Secretary and Joint Secretary of the Indian Olympic Association. And so the Indian Olympic Association was formed in 1927, and since that year was officially recognised by the International Olympic Committee as India 's national Olympic organisation. In 1928, Maharaja Bhupindra Singh took over as Indian Olympic Association president. Early tasks : Sending Teams to the Olympics : In its first decade, the Indian Olympic Association selected sportspersons to represent India at the Olympic Games in 1928, 1932, and 1936. Subsequently, by 1946 - 47, the Indian Olympic Association took responsibility only to send the Indian team to the Olympics ( principally, this meant arranging transport, board, and accommodation ), while the separate federations for each sport were responsible for selecting and training competitors for their sport. Reflecting this, ahead of the 1948 Olympics, the IOA Council agreed that a team representing athletics, swimming, weight lifting, wrestling, boxing, football, and hockey, with officials for each of these sports, and a Chief Manager, would be entered for the 1948 Olympics. And so, from 1948 onward, India began sending teams representing several sports -- each selected by its respective sports federation -- to the Olympics. Securing Funding : One of the Indian Olympic Association 's main early challenges was to secure funding, so that it could send the national team to the Olympics and finance the related costs of transport, room, and board. It obtained funding from the Indian government, from the state governments, and from various state sports federations. Illustrating this, IOA President Yadavindra Singh 's appeal for funding in 1948 stated : `` We need about 3 Lacs of rupees to finance '' the Indian Olympic team for the London Olympics ; that `` the youth taking part in these games become ambassadors of goodwill '' for India ; and that `` careful selection, intensive training and proper equipment is most essential '' to field a competitive team, but that the Indian Olympic Association is `` greatly handicapped for want of sufficient funds '' for these tasks. The Indian Olympic Association thus undertook wider outreach with several national sports federations, and essentially became a clearing house that coordinated the sending of multiple sports teams -- each selected by their respective sports federations -- to the Olympics. The National Games : The Indian Olympic Association had one other major responsibility : that of holding the biennial National Games ( Indian Olympics ). It recognised, in the 1920s - 1940s, that the promotion of sports in India needed a National Games, because there was no overall national sports federation of India. Instead, there were separate national federations for each sport, such as athletics, swimming, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, weightlifting, cycling, boxing, football. These sports federations essentially held their national championships at the Indian National Games. IOA presidents S.No. Name Tenure 1. Sir Dorabji Tata 1927 -- 1928 2.

Sport National Federation Arm wrestling Indian Arm Wrestling Federation Kabaddi Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India Kho Kho Kho Kho Federation of India Yachting Yachting Association of India Disputes On 26 April 2011, after the arrest of its president Suresh Kalmadi, Vijay Kumar Malhotra was the acting president of the IOA up to 5 December 2012. The election of Lalit Bhanot as Secretary General was considered controversial by some due to his alleged involvement in the Commonwealth Games Scam. On 4 December 2012, the International Olympic Committee suspended the IOA on the basis of corruption, government interference, and not following guidelines of the IOC. Several members of the IOA have been charged with crimes. The IOA was formally banned for not following the Olympic Charter in their elections, instead following the Indian government 's Sports Code. The IOA held elections under the Indian Sports Code due to a directive from the Delhi High Court. On 15 May 2013, International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) decided to lift the ban on the Indian Olympic Association ( IOA ) as Indian representatives from the government and sports bodies reached an agreement with IOC officials. India still did not have its three competitors play under the national flag at the 2014 Olympics. On 9 February, an election was held to choose a head of the IOA. Abhay Singh Chautala and Lalit Bhanot were ineligible due to having court charges against them. The president of the World Squash Federation, Narayana Ramachandran, was instead elected. On 11 February 2014, the International Olympic Committee revoked the ban enforced on Indian Olympic Association. As a result, India returned to the Olympic fold after 14 - months.
