The '''Indian Olympic Association''', abbreviated as '''IOA''', ([[ISO 15919|ISO]]: ''Bhāratīya Olaṃpika Saṃgha'') is responsible for selecting athletes to represent India at the [[Olympic Games]], [[Asian Games]] and other international sports competitions, and managing Indian teams at these events. It goes with the name of '''Team India'''. It also acts as the '''Indian Commonwealth Games Association''', responsible for selecting athletes to represent India at the [[Commonwealth Games]].<ref>{{cite web|title=India at the Commonwealth Games|url=http://www.thecgf.com/countries/intro.asp?countryid=28|publisher=[[Commonwealth Games Federation]]|access-date=17 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140116072436/http://www.thecgf.com/countries/intro.asp?countryid=28|archive-date=16 January 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:IndiaSportsAdministrators14.jpg|right|thumb|240px|alt=text|Indian Olympic Association, 1942]]

The background behind the creation of the Indian Olympic Association was related to [[India at the Olympics|India's participation in the 1920 and 1924 Olympics]].  After the 1920 Games, the committee sending the team to these games met, and, on the advice of Sir Dorab Tata, invited Dr. Noehren (Physical Education Director of YMCA India) to be secretary, along with AS Bhagwat, of the provisional Indian Olympic Committee; Dorab Tata would serve as its president.  Subsequently, in 1923–24, a provisional All India Olympic Committee was formed, and the All India Olympic Games (that later became the [[National Games of India]]) were held in Feb 1924. Eight athletes from these games were selected to represent India at the 1924 Paris Olympics, accompanied by manager [[Harry Buck|Harry Crowe Buck]]. This gave impetus to the development and institutionalization of sports in India, and, in 1927, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), was created at the initiative of Harry Crowe Buck and Dr. A. G. Noehren (both of the Madras (YMCA) College of Physical Education).<ref>Dr A G Noehren was National Physical Education Director of the YMCAs in India, and H C Buck was Principal of the National YMCA school of physical education in Madras</ref> Sir [[Dorabji Tata|Dorab Tata]] was important in financing and supporting the movement and became the first Indian Olympic Association president in 1927. Messrs Buck and Noehren travelled across India and helped many states organise their Olympic associations.  Noehren was the first Secretary and [[Guru Dutt Sondhi]] was the first assistant secretary of the Indian Olympic Association, and after Noehren resigned in 1938, Sondhi and [[Moin-ul-Haq|S.M. Moinul Haq]] became the secretary and joint secretary of the Indian Olympic Association.

The Indian Olympic Association was formed in 1927, and since that year was officially recognised by the [[IOC|International Olympic Committee]] as India's national Olympic organisation.{{ref|IOCIndia}} In 1928, [[Bhupinder Singh of Patiala|Maharaja Bhupindra Singh]] took over as Indian Olympic Association president.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-hNADAAAQBAJ&pg=PA57|title=Physical Education Class 12|last=Sharma|first=V. K.|publisher=Saraswati House Pvt Ltd|isbn=978-93-5041-921-2|page=57}}</ref>

'''Early tasks''': 
*''Sending teams to the Olympics'': In its first decade, the Indian Olympic Association selected sportspersons to represent India [[India at the Olympics#Early History|at the Olympic Games in 1928, 1932, and 1936]]. Subsequently, by 1946–47, the Indian Olympic Association took responsibility only to send the Indian team to the Olympics (principally, this meant arranging transport, board, and accommodation), while the separate federations for each sport were responsible for selecting and training competitors for their sport. Reflecting this, ahead of the [[India at the 1948 Summer Olympics|1948 Olympics]], the IOA Council agreed that a team representing athletics, swimming, weight lifting, wrestling, boxing, football, and hockey, with officials for each of these sports, and a Chief Manager, would be entered for the 1948 Olympics. And so, from 1948 onward, India began sending teams representing several sports – each selected by its respective sports federation – to the Olympics. 

*''Securing funding'': One of the Indian Olympic Association's main early challenges was to secure funding, so that it could send the national team to the Olympics and finance the related costs of transport, room, and board. It obtained funding from the Indian government, from the state governments, and from various state sports federations.
Illustrating this, IOA President Yadavindra Singh's appeal for funding in 1948 stated: "We need about 3 [[lakh]] of [[rupee]]s to finance" the Indian Olympic team for the London Olympics; that "the youth taking part in these games become ambassadors of goodwill" for India; and that "careful selection, intensive training and proper equipment is most essential" to field a competitive team, but that the Indian Olympic Association is "greatly handicapped for want of sufficient funds" for these tasks.<ref>Appeal by Yadavindra Singh, President, Indian Olympic Association, 1948</ref>

The Indian Olympic Association thus undertook wider outreach with several national sports federations, and essentially became a clearing house that coordinated the sending of multiple sports teams – each selected by their respective sports federations – to the Olympics.

*''The National Games'': The Indian Olympic Association had one other major responsibility, that of holding the biennial [[National Games of India|National Games]] (Indian Olympics). It recognised, in the 1920s-1940s, that the promotion of sports in India needed a National Games, because there was no overall national sports federation of India.
