These past few months, India\u2019s sports administrators have been in the news far too frequently. Rarely does a day end before one of them is <strong>pulled up (rebuke)<\/strong> by the court, another is forced to resign or yet another <strong>stakes (to lay (a claim) to land, rights, etc) <\/strong>claim to a post. In the latest instance, the sports official to hit the headlines has been Anil Khanna, who resigned on Wednesday as the acting-president of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA). He had <strong>assumed (Take on titles, offices, duties, responsibilities) <\/strong>charge after Narinder Batra was forced to quit in July. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has made it clear that it would not recognise any acting\/interim president of the IOA. The IOC is not pleased that the long-pending elections to the IOA have not been held and has even threatened India with serious consequences. The IOC could ban India if the elections are not held by December. Then, Indian athletes would not be able to represent the country in events, including the Olympic Games, and India would not be able to receive funds from the IOC. Only a month ago, the Gokulam Kerala football team found out what happens when such a ban is enforced. The players had to return from Uzbekistan, where they had gone to take part in the AFC Women\u2019s Club Championship. That was because the world football governing body FIFA had banned the All India Football Federation (AIFF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ban has since been lifted and the AIFF has conducted its elections. But there are other sports, such as hockey and table tennis, that continue to be run by the court-appointed committees of administrators. The main reason behind the <strong>messy (Dirty and disorderly) <\/strong>state of affairs in India\u2019s sports administration at the moment is the reluctance of the officials, across sports bodies, to accept the National Sports Development Code of India, introduced by the central government in 2011. Its intention was noble. By putting a limit to the <strong>tenure (The term during which some position is held) <\/strong>and age of an administrator, it had the potential to stop sports federations from remaining as the personal <strong>fiefdoms (An organization that is controlled by a dominant person or group) <\/strong>of a few, many of them politicians. At a time when Indian sport is showing more promise than it ever did before \u2014 the Tokyo Olympics, the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, the Thomas Cup and the Chess Olympiad have shown that the country has more to offer than just cricket \u2014 the administration needs to get its act together. The <strong>incumbents (Currently holding an office) <\/strong>should gracefully <strong>make way (allow room for someone or something else)<\/strong> for new administrators with fresh ideas and also allow more former international sportspersons in key administrative posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update your vocabulary with the help of this analysis of The Hindu Editorial.
