Sportstar National Conclave: Patience and passion for sport pre-requisites to lead NSFs ably, says Adille Sumariwalla

Athletics Federation of India president Adille Sumariwalla on Monday pointed out how the change in approach in running athletics in India since his appointment as the head of the federation has brought dividends. Revealing how he changed the functioning of the athletics federation, he said, “I said I’m going to bring a corporate culture into running a federation professionally. We said we’re going to focus on two things: first create an ecosystem, and focus on grassroots on the one hand elite on the other. The amount of education we did during COVID – we didn’t lose that at all.” ‘Acceptance of leadership a challenge’ Paralympian Deepa Malik, now the president of the Paralympic Committee of India, said it took time for her to get acceptance from members of the sports ecosystem as the leader of the committee.
