 Allow me to welcome you to the Official Web site for Volleyball Federation of India. I am Dr. B Sivanthi Adityan and I am the President of VFI. Since 1951, VFI has had a glorious history in India and today we are doing a lot of things for Volleyball, a very popular game in all parts of India. Hundreds of players particpate in dozens of championships and events (under various categories) held domestically. In the SAF (South Asian Federation) Games as well as the Asian games our players have done well to enhance VFI's prestige by receiving numerous awards and recognitions. Though, headquartered in Chennai VFI is an active organisation with activities spread across the length and breadth of the country. Our organisation has 74 honorary members in contributing at various levels for the promotion of the game in India. Volleyball is personally very close to my heart and we have indeed tried our best to provide the best facilities to the players as well as ensure development of Volleyball in India. VFI is a member organisation of FIVB (Federation Internationale de Volleyball) as well as of Asian Volleyball Confederation.. Further we are also accredated to Indian Olympic Association and General Association of National Sports Federation. I am happy to inform you that in 1996 we were awarded the Golden Palm Diploma for securing the 2nd position in '100 years in 100 days' Centenial Contest.' I once again welcome you to our site and hope that your visit here is comforable and informative. In case you do not find what you are looking for, do send me an E-mail. |
