The Hockey India on Saturday congratulated Reliance founder and chairperson, Nita Ambani, for being nominated as a candidate to be a new member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The election will be held at the 129th IOC Session that will take place in Rio de Janeiro between 2nd and 4th August 2016. The independent selection process follows a new procedure for recruitment of IOC members based on the Olympic Agenda 2020 recommendations. Once elected, she will continue to be a member until the age of 70.
She is the first Indian woman to be nominated to the International Olympic Committee and this nomination comes as a recognition of her passionate work in the area of education and sports.
The International Olympic Committee is the supreme authority of the Olympic Movement. It acts as a catalyst for collaboration between all parties of the Olympic family, from the National Olympic Committees (NOCs), the International Sports Federations (IFs), the athletes, the Organising Committees for the Olympic Games (OCOGs), to partners and United Nations agencies.
