The Indian Olympic Association: The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) is set to introduce comprehensive medical health insurance and pension schemes for all former Olympians.

The announcement was made by IOA President and legendary athlete PT Usha on Sunday, marking a significant step towards athlete-centric reforms within the organisation.

Speaking at an event honouring Gurbachan Singh Randhawa on International Olympic Day, Usha revealed that she has proposed these recommendations to the IOA's Executive Committee, which is expected to deliberate on the initiative soon. The IOA plans to independently fund these expenses, underscoring its commitment to the well-being of former athletes who have brought glory to the nation.
