SAI empowers NSFs, gives them major say in picking foreign coaches
Sports Authority of India (SAI) has abolished the process of screening of candidates through a comprehensive committee and introduced a bipartite contract system. As per the revised guidelines on hiring foreign coaches/experts, the NSFs can't spend more than 30 percent of their Annual Calendar of Training and Competition (ACTC) budget on the salary of recruits. The foreign coach will also have to train at least five Indian coaches, according to the fresh guidelines, a copy of which is with the PTI.
