The ministry of youth and Sports has instructed the Search Committee to finalise its proposal for the formation of ad-hoc committees for the remaining sports federation and associations by April 20.
This instruction came on Thursday as the ministry faces challenges in disbursing funds to federations due to the absence of complete executive committees in several federation and associations.聽
鈥楾he formation of ad-hoc committees for several sports federations remains incomplete. As a result, the allocated budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year has yet to be disbursed due to the lack of ad-hoc or full committees,鈥� sports ministry circular stated.
Following the fall of the Awami League government on August 5, 2024, the interim government established a five-member Search Committee on August 29.
The committee was later revised on October 1, with the goal of reforming executive committees to depoliticise the country鈥檚 sports sector.
However, only 21 ad-hoc committees have been formed out of the 55 sports federations and associations over the past six months.
