Annual general meetings

The Indian Olympic Association: The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has formally recognised the newly-elected Governing Council of the Indian Golf Union (IGU) following a contentious election process. The recognised office-bearers of the IGU Governing Council are Harish Kumar Shetty (President), Basant Kumar Repswal (Secretary General), and Manoj Joshi (Honorary Treasurer).

The IOA’s recognition comes after a thorough investigation into two separate Annual General Meetings (AGMs) and elections held on December 15, at different venues in New Delhi.

The controversy began when reports surfaced that two parallel elections had been conducted for the IGU’s Governing Council. While one election was overseen by Justice O.P. Garg (Retd.), the other was reportedly conducted by a different group under the leadership of Brijinder Singh. Both factions claimed legitimacy, creating confusion in the golfing fraternity.
