Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option B: Table Tennis Federation of India. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports suspended recognition of the Table Tennis Federation of India on 12 August 2026 due to governance deficiencies. The suspension order cited the federation’s failure to conduct organisational elections within the prescribed timeframe and its unsatisfactory response to a show-cause notice. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports grants recognition to National Sports Federations for administering sports at the national level, subject to prescribed governance requirements. The Table Tennis Federation of India is the national governing body for table tennis in India and is affiliated with the International Table Tennis Federation. The International Table Tennis Federation is the international governing body for table tennis and was to be consulted for an interim regulatory mechanism. The Ministry directed the Indian Olympic Association to constitute an ad-hoc committee to administer table tennis until a compliant federation structure is restored. Recognition of National Sports Federations is linked to compliance with the National Sports Development Code of India, 2011, including requirements relating to elections and office-bearers. The Table Tennis Federation of India had also faced administrative intervention in 2022, making governance and institutional compliance a recurring issue in its administration.
