    The Taekwondo Federation of India (TFI) is the national governing body for Taekwondo in India on confirmation from World Taekwondo on 9 July 2019.

     Since there were many disputes from almost a decade among the office bearers of the previous governing body (TFI) Indian Olympic Association and Delhi High Court took the matter in its own hands and formed a committee headed by former Supreme Court judge Nageswara Rao to bring relief to the affected Taekwondo athletes of the whole country. This decision of the committee was welcomed and accepted by the IOA dated 14 November 2022.

     The Taekwondo Federation of India (TFI) held its election for office holders on November 14, 2022, at the Indian Olympic Association’s headquarters in New Delhi. 

     Being the President of the Tamil Nadu Olympic Association, I was one of the contestant for the celebrated President post and would like to inform that we won. I am proud to say that voters from 20 states supported us. It is even more merrier to know that this is the first time a South Indian is elected to this coveted title of President in 46 years. It is also notable that from our team not only myself but the offices of the Secretary, Treasurer, Vice Presidents (5), Joint Secretaries (3) and EC members (8) emerged triumphant. It was a clear majority sweep.
