Age fraud: Karnataka high court notice to badminton body, SAI as 37 parents file plea

Bengaluru, Dec 1: The Karnataka high court on Friday ordered emergent notices to the Badminton Association of India(BAI), Sports Authority of India(SAI) and Karnataka Badminton Association on a petition filed by 37 parents highlighting rampant age fraud in the sport.

Justice B Veerappa also ordered notices to the ministry of youth affairs and sports, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in the petition filed by Nilesh G Prabhu and 36 others. The petitioners have sought for a direction to the BAI to consider and implement within a timeframe their representation which details several instances of age fraud and suggest some measures to check them.

“Most of the age-fraud cases are with respect to players who are already in the system. The BAI is completely silent on those who have produced delayed birth certificates while obtaining a BAID (Badminton Association Identifier — the identity document provided by BAI) and also cases where the players with BAID have later produced delayed birth certificates and got their date of birth changed,” the petitioners claimed.

“It has become the modus operandi for many players to get their BAID with one date of birth and later change it by furnishing delayed birth certificates and then play in categories open to younger age groups. BAI has not put any checks and balances in place to vet such requests before incorporating the changes,” the petitioners have contended.

According to them, the medical procedures employed to verify/ascertain the age of the players can at best be used to estimate the age and are not helpful in slotting the players in the right age groups, and this is resulting in players continuing to perform in underage categories. This, they say, is undermining the efforts of players in their legitimate age groups and also stealing their opportunities.

It has been also stated that when the BAI approached the SAI seeking funds for participation of the Indian team at Badminton Asia Junior U-15 and U-17 championships 2018, held in October at Mandalay, Myanmar, the SAI had sent back Meiraba Luwang (BAID: 6925), Tasmin Mir (BAID: 14604), Mansi Singh (BAID: 12279) and Bhargavi K (BAID: 5699) for not being of the right age to represent the country in the championship. However, despite SAI’s objection, they were allowed by BAI to play in the tournament.

The petitioners have pointed out that many top players in all age groups have delayed birth certificates and their parents are well-educated and gainfully employed; in fact, some of them are even employed in the sports departments of central/state governments. “It is these very parents who, in cahoots with a few of the unscrupulous coaches/academies, create delayed birth certificates to ensure their children get an undue advantage while playing in the underage categories. In all such instances where delayed birth certificates are registered, the place of birth is stated as “home”, “village”, “in autorickshaw”, and so on,” the petitioners have added.

Bangalore , Mar 24: Bizom, India's leading retail intelligence platform, announced free subscription of its retailer app and tele-ordering solutions for consumer businesses in India and other emerging economies. Both solutions enable retailers to send their orders directly to the brand.
In COVID-19 times of social distancing and prophylactic measures, brands are conscious about the safety of their salespersons. Also, retailers don't want travelling salespeople to enter their premises. Consequently, many retail stores are facing stockout situations of fast-moving product categories. Bizom's self-ordering solutions help brands to avoid stockouts of their products.
Bizom trends, which analyses consumption and demand for consumer brands, showed how a near-complete shutdown during the Janta Curfew followed panic buying in early March. The asymmetrical demand and a lack of salespeople for order-taking are driving the industry towards social-distancing-based store-stocking mechanisms.
Bizom provides social-distancing-based store-stocking solutions for consumer businesses. They include the Bizom Retailer App and the Bizom Tele-ordering.
The Bizom Retailer App enables self-ordering for a brand's key retail outlets and can be implemented in under two weeks. The mobile app, a B2B shopping app, is a simple installation for retailers. It lists and groups the brand's products as per its product categories. The app's interface is no different from that of leading e-commerce apps. All the user has to do is select the preferred SKUs and add them to their shopping carts.
The app also allows brands to customize the app to meet the requirements of their continually changing product categories. For instance, if an SKU runs out of stock, the brand can disable the given SKU from the app.
With the Bizom Retailer App, brands can take orders directly from retailers instead of the traditional order-taking approach, which requires high-touch from a salesperson. Some of the key features of the app are, the ability to provide product information directly through retailers including SKUs, competitor comparison and pricing.
It also enables self-ordering from the retailer to maintain the flow of products as per demand, enables scheme rollout information through a notification on the app rather than through salespeople, tracks delivery of goods to the retailer and enables incentive payments to retailers directly rather than through distributor claims.
With Bizom Tele-ordering, as the sales teams go remote, the tele-ordering solution will become useful for brands who want to get salespeople to take orders from retailers, remotely. It ensures continued service to outlets despite not being physically present in the market.
Here, salespeople can discuss product requirements with retailers and enter orders based on specific outlet types (grocery, chemist etc.), outlet class (Class A, Class B etc.) or based on their beat or as per a distributor.
The key features of the Bizom Tele-ordering solution are, its ability to help salespeople collect orders from retailers remotely and enter it for fulfilment into Bizom using a tool, the flexibility offered to salespeople for remote servicing of retailers as per outlet type, beat, distributor area etc., secondary schemes get applied automatically, variable discounts will get applied as applicable at an SKU level.
"At Bizom, we are conscious of our responsibility to help brands run faster during these COVID-19 times. Our solutions of Bizom Retailer App and Bizom Tele-ordering have been built to ensure that brands can leverage this situation of low direct touch with retailers to enable a better way of working, remotely. I am trying to help brands go live in a few days so that they, in turn, can serve consumers better during these testing times," said Lalit Bhise, CEO, Bizom.
