AITA Proposes Major Restructuring to Align with National Sports Governance Act
Justice Gita Mittal has proposed big changes to the All India Tennis Association (AITA).
These changes include adding more athletes to important committees and reducing the number of representatives from each state.
The goal is to make the AITA follow new sports laws and give athletes more say in decisions.
There will also be new committees to ensure everyone follows the rules and to resolve disputes quickly.
The AITA members will vote on these changes at a meeting on Sunday.
Justice Gita Mittal proposes major restructuring of AITA to align with National Sports Governance Act, 2025.
Five Sportspersons of Outstanding Merit (SOMs) to be inducted into a downsized 15-member Executive Committee.
State association representation in the Central Council reduced from two members to one.
Eight SOMs, including four women, to become voting members of the Central Council.
New independent Ethics, Dispute Resolution, and POSH committees proposed to strengthen accountability.
