In order to help the future generation of Volleyball players, the promoters and lovers of Volleyball across country are pleading for a swift resolution as government put a bar on National Volleyball Certificates. “The well-wishers and promoters of Volleyball across country strongly desire a quick remedy over contemporary issues so that upcoming budding Volleyball players could get all facilities for jobs, admissions and other usual benefits from government as well asconcerned International and National authorities,” said Jaideep Sarkar, international Volleyball Coach & Asian Silver Medalist.
It is unfortunate for players of Volleyball that due to the Government of India’s non-recognised status of Volleyball Federation of India (VFI), the participation and diploma Certificates issued by VFI will not be considered for employment and admission through sports quota in any institutions. The VFI will be entitled for other usual facilities of government recognised National Sports Federation like Railway Concession during National Championship in any category. This has been made clear by the undersecretary and CPIO of Government of India’s Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports AK Vidyarthi in an RTI reply; an activist (RTI) was raised question.
In fact, the government has accorded decision as per existing National Sports Development Code of India (NSDCI) 2011, which bars Non-recognised National Sports Federations to avail the government facilities.
