    Under Jaipal Singh Munda: In the serene village of Takra, nestled in the forests of Khunti district, 50 km from Ranchi, Amru Pahan and Radhamuni were blessed with a boy on January 3, 1903, and he would grow to become Jaipal Singh Munda, an iconic figure known for his extraordinary talent, unwavering passion, and charismatic personality.

    Jaipal Singh Munda, affectionately called "Marang Gomke (Great Leader)", led India to its first Olympic gold medal in hockey at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics. His love for hockey was so profound that he left the prestigious Indian Civil Service (ICS) during British rule to pursue his passion.
