## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR YOUTH AFFAIRS AND SPORTS [COL . RAJYAVARDHAN RATHORE(RETD . )]

(a) to (d): Madam, all the National Sports Federations (NSFs) and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) are required to adopt mandatorily the provisions of the  National  Sports  Development  Code  of  India,  2011  (NSDCI).  Archery Association of India, All India Tennis Association, Indian Golf Union and Judo Federation of India had failed to follow the provisions of the NSDCI relating to the age & tenure restriction of office bearers. Hence, annual recognition to these NSFs was not given by the Government of India. The list of NSFs which have been given annual recognition for 2018 is attached as Annexure. The  annual  recognition  of  the  NSFs  which  failed  to  adhere  to  the provisions of the NSDCI is withheld/ withdrawn.  Consequently, such NSFs are not  eligible  to  receive  financial  assistance  and  other  benefits  from  the Government of India.  This Ministry has also written to States requesting them to consider its applicability to state associations.
