134th ioc session
background and early years: the background behind the creation of the indian olympic association was related to india’s participation in the 1920 and 1924 olympics. after the 1920 games, the committee sending the team to these games met, and, on the advice of sir dorab tata, invited dr. noehren (physical education director of ymca india) to be secretary, along with as bhagwat, of the provisional indian olympic committee; dorab tata would serve as its president. subsequently, in 1923-24, a provisional all india olympic committee was formed, and the all india olympic games (that later became the national games of india) were held in feb 1924. eight athletes from these games were selected to represent india at the 1924 paris olympics, accompanied by manager harry crowe buck. this gave impetus to the development and institutionalization of sports in india, and, in 1927, the indian olympic association (ioa), was created at the initiative of harry crowe buck and dr. a. g. noehren (both of the madras (ymca) college of physical education). sir dorab tata was important in financing and supporting the movement and became the first indian olympic association president in 1927. messrs buck and noehren travelled across india and helped many states organise their olympic associations. noehren was the first secretary and g. d. sondhi was the first assistant secretary of the indian olympic association, and, after noehren resigned in 1938, sondhi and s.m. moinul haq became the secretary and joint secretary of the indian olympic association.
