The Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports on 8 July 2015 constituted an eight member committee to study status of Sports Authority of India (SAI) training centers across the country.
The committee will be headed by former athlete Ashwini Nachappa and includes Pullela Gopi Chand as a member among others.
The committee was formed against the backdrop of suicide attempt by four girl inmates at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) SAG Water Sports centre at Alappuzha, Kerala in May 2015 that resulted in death of one girl trainee.
The committee was mandated to recommend measures to ensure that such incidents do not occur in future.
Before finalising on its recommendations, the committee will study the issues related to management of athletes stress levels, quality of food served, timely availability of dietary supplements among others.
The committee is mandated to submit its report within 3 months.
