Amritsar city's tryst with hockey continues unabated. Another reputed school joins the hockey fever that is fast catching up the schools domain.

Chief guest Prof Paramjeet Singh Randhawa expressed his valuable views regarding National game Hockey. By forcible speech, he has motivated and inspired the youngsters of Police DAV Public School, Police LInes, Amritsar. The has left everybody reflecting about our national game which is being neglected for want of name and fame.

He is campaigning for hockey promotion by visiting different schools of the city. He said that Hockey is not a game rather an Indian culture. It is a pity that young generation is familiar with cricket stars but are not much in the know of former hockey greats such as Dhyan Chand, his brother Roop Singh, Leslie Claudius, Balbir Singh etc etc.

He said that Indian students are taught to respect their National language, National Anthem and national Flag but they are respect National Game hockey.

Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Chak De! India’ really rejuvenated the dying spirit of youngsters taking up the game. He urged the students and Educational Institutions to pledge to promote Hockey, to revive its golden heritage. He asked the authorities to hold quiz competitions, symposiums, poem recitals, debate competitions so that not only players but also other students also get inspired.

Ms. Promilla Kamal, the Principal, also a great admirer of hockey sport, assured the chief guest that she would leave no stone unturned for making hockey popular, providing attention worthy of the game.

Moreover Khaki (Police Department) and Hockey seem to be interlinked as the department has contributed to this game by patronizing it in a big way, giving its full support physically and financially. Some of the former legends of Indian hockey, like Sardar Balbir Singh Dosanj are from the ranks of state police.
