The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to India hosting the 2036 Summer Olympics, even as the organisation navigates internal challenges. IOA President P.T. Usha emphasised on Tuesday that her dedication to bringing the Olympic and Paralympic Games to India remains resolute, despite an ongoing power struggle with the IOA`s Executive Council (EC). 

Usha, a former track-and-field star, has been embroiled in a dispute with 12 EC members who have refused to endorse her appointment of Raghuram Iyer as the CEO of IOA, a decision she made in January. The conflict has caused friction within the organisation but has not deterred Usha from pushing forward with India`s Olympic vision.
