New Delhi:<\/strong> The Indian Olympic Association<\/a> (IOA) today urged the government to treat sports excellence at par with academic excellence and asked it to formulate a uniform policy in this regard.<\/p>\n

IOA Acting President, Vijay Kumar Malhotra<\/a> appreciated Delhi University\u2019s decision to allow U-19 World Cup-winning captain Unmukt Chand<\/a> to continue his course at the College affiliated to it and said if there had been a proper policy in place this sort of situation would not have arisen.<\/p>\n

Many Colleges had earlier barred young cricketers & other sports persons from taking the BA Programme first-year examination because of his poor attendance.<\/p>\n

He said said it is strange that while government says that sports should become a part of the curriculum there is no proper policy as how to implement it. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis case to case approach is not going to help the sports persons or solve the problem,\u201d Malhotra said in a statement. <\/p>\n

Malhotra said that it has been a long standing demand of the IOA that sports ministry should have a proper policy dealing with such issues which keep cropping up on regular basis.<\/p>\n

He said all the sports persons, students & employees who are either in coaching camps or taking part in the national championship or representing the country in the International competitions should be treated as on duty.<\/p>\n

\u2018It does no good to the morale of a sports persons if they have to go asking for special leave every time they attend a camp or play for the country at home or abroad\u2019 he said adding \u2018also sports persons should not feel that Government or authorities prefer a particular sport or are favourably inclined towards that game,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
