The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS) has granted conditional recognition to the Judo Federation of India (JFI), allowing the body to resume governance of the sport and participate in national and international competitions.
It is to be noted that the JFI had been operating under the supervision of a court-appointed administrator since 2022. An interim Executive Committee has been elected to lead the federation, with Mukesh Kumar as President, Banee Brata Das as Secretary General, and Shailesh Shrikant Tilak as Treasurer.
