The game of netball was introduced in India by evangelist Dr. Harry Crowe Buck of Pennsylvania, United States, in 1920 at the YMCA College of Physical Education of Madras (now Chennai). NFI was established in 1978 by Jagat Singh Chauhan from Haryana who was an alumnus of YMCA College of Physical Education of Madras and at the same year he organised the first national championships in Jind, Haryana with great contribution of Mrs Shashi Prabha. Mr Jagat Singh Chauhan was founder/father of handball, netball and throwball games in India. His efforts in Germany during Munich Olympics (1972) helped in making these a legacy in India. NFI and netball associations of Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Sri Lanka met during the 1983 Netball World Championships in Singapore to discuss the creation of an Asian netball governing body, which resulted in the establishment of Asian Federation of Netball Associations in 1986 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
