It was dissolved on 26 November 1981 and replaced by the Olympic Council of Asia.[3]

The Indian contingent for this year's games consisted of 492 athletes: 265 men and 227 women. Sahdev Yadav has been appointed as the Chef de Mission for the Games, while Sharath Kamal has been chosen as his deputy.[4]
