Col.Kar Is Deputy General Secretary Of AIFF

Colonel Gautam Kar has been appointed as the deputy general secretary of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) today and shall officially join the office from next month.

The Indian FA has been on the lookout for someone who could assist Mr.Alberto Colaco, general secretary in discharging the duties listed in the Constitution of the federation.

Speaking to Goal.com from Delhi, Col. Kar said, “Yes, I have been appointed as the deputy general secretary and have received the appointment letter earlier today.”

The minimum criterion for the position was to have a background in sports administration and be between the age of 40 to 50 years. The work profile of the post includes implementation of the decisions and policies of the Executive Committee, administration of the Secretariat and supervision of the staff in performing their duties and development of the Indian FA.

“I always want to work for football and I see this as another opportunity to do so. I have to prove a point in doing so. I believe that an individual has to deliver what is asked of him or the perform or perish theory,” said the match commissioner.

Col. Kar met the ailing AIFF president Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi in the first week of October in Kolkata. “That was just a formality,” informed Col.Kar.
