The  Olympic Task Force has recommended major reformation of the Sports Authority of India (SAI), and suggested that the qualified professionals should swap places with bureaucrats and the authority must be given complete financial autonomy.

"Instead of deputing government officers to the SAI, the new SAI would be fully professionalised and only specialists on contractual basis with clearly defined deliverables, shall be appointed on the board and all functions down the line," states the report.

"Full financial autonomy needs to be given to the SAI. They should be allowed to raise the resources to run their various programs," it further stated.
