Sports

The Odisha government has announced an extension of its support to Hockey India (HI) till 2036 on Friday (June 21). The decision was taken after a high-level meeting which involved HI President Dilip Tirkey and HI Secretary General Bhola Nath Singh along with the newly-sworn-in Chief Minister of Odisha Mohan Charan Majhi, Minister of State for Sports & Youth Services Suryabanshi Suraj, Chief Secretary & Chief Development Commissioner Pradeep Kumar Jena and Commissioner-Cum-Secretary R. Vineel Krishna.


      While the outgoing Naveen Patnaik-led Government had extended the sponsorship of the men's and the women's national hockey team- both senior and junior-till 2033, the new extension decision will now see the state sponsor the teams till 2036, implying a further three-year extension.
