Odisha CM urges PM to recognize Hockey as National Game
Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to officially recognize Hockey as the ‘national game of India’. Even though Hockey already enjoys the status of the unofficial national game of India, it has never been notified as the national game of India.
“I am sure you will agree with the crores of Hockey loving fans of our country that Hockey truly deserves to be notified as our National game,” said the Chief Minister in a letter to the Prime Minister.
