SAI Director Recruitment 2026: Overview
Sports Authority of India (SAI) is recruiting Directors on deputation for its sports administration network. SAI is an autonomous organisation under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, working to develop sport and prepare sportspersons for international competition. The appointment carries all-India posting at centres where SAI schemes operate, so the New Delhi application address is not a promise of a Delhi posting.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Tenure: The deputation lasts two years. The notice places the appointment under the standard deputation terms issued by the Department of Personnel and Training, as amended from time to time.
- Posting: You may serve at centres anywhere in India where SAI implements its schemes. The authority's sports infrastructure and coaching network extend across the country.
- Staffing requirement: The advertised requirement is tentative. Keep this qualification in mind when considering the opportunity.
- Employer involvement: Your parent organisation must certify the information you provide and complete the employer endorsement. The annexure also asks the employer to confirm that it will release you immediately if selected.
- Language of the notice: The English version governs if a dispute arises over interpretation.
Application Submission Notes
Use the Annexure I application format and arrange forwarding through your proper channel or cadre-controlling authority. The notice asks for the application in duplicate, so allow your office enough time to complete the forwarding process.
Address it to O/o the Director (Human Resources Division-II), Room No. 112A, Sports Authority of India, Head Office, Gate No. 10 (East Gate), Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Lodhi Road, New Delhi 110003. This is the receiving office for the application.
You may send an advance copy, but it does not replace the application forwarded through your employer. SAI will consider your candidature only if the proper-channel application and its required enclosures arrive before final selection.
Responsibilities
- Lead SAI initiatives at field offices and headquarters
- Plan sports programmes and oversee their implementation
- Monitor programmes against organisational objectives
- Coordinate with state governments and other stakeholders
- Keep departments working together and support timely decisions
- Maintain efficiency, transparency and accountability in administration
