HI To Provide Rs 2 Lakh Grant For Unemployed Players In Senior Core Probable Groups
Hockey India Executive Board Members: In a bid to financially help players sustain their career in sport, Hockey India has taken an instrumental decision to provide a grant of Rs 2 lakh for members of the Indian men's and women's core probable group who have not yet landed a job in Government departments or Public Sector Units (PSU).
The decision was taken during the Annual General Meeting held in Lucknow today.
"While most of the hockey players get recognised for their performances in domestic and international meets by PSUs and Government Departments who provide jobs, it has been brought to our attention that some of the new comers in the senior core group, particularly among the women are unemployed. To aide those who are unemployed with financial assistance so they or their families don't have to struggle to make ends meet, this decision of providing Rs 2 lakh grant each year has been taken by Hockey India Executive Board during the AGM in Lucknow," expressed Dilip Tirkey, president of Hockey India.
