New Delhi: In reply to questions regarding whether Government has formulated plans to bid for hosting the 2036 Olympics in India, union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya replied in Rajya Sabha: The allotment of hosting rights for the Olympics is done by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) through a detailed host selection process spelt out in the public domain. The IOC has a dedicated body, the Future Host Commission (FHC), which deals with this subject. The interested National Olympics Committees (NOCs) are required to initiate a dialogue with the FHC for award of hosting rights for a specific edition of the Olympic Games. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA), which is the NOC for India, has initiated the dialogue process with the FHC. Further, augmentation of sports infrastructure for organising sports events including multi sports events in the country is an ongoing process.’ DeshGujarat
