New Delhi: Pointing out administrative deficiencies afflicting university-level sport in the country, the Sports Ministry has issued a show-cause notice to the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), saying the body has failed to carry out its duties related to athlete development and planning.
The AIU had drawn severe criticism during last year’s World University Games in Rhine-Ruhr, Germany where six of the 12 badminton players in the contingent were barred from participating due to an alleged administrative lapse.
Officials failed to submit all names correctly during the managers’ meeting causing a massive furore as the affected players called it “career sabotage due to AIU mismanagement”.
