On the birth anniversary of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand-celebrated nationwide as National Sports Day, Hockey India has unveiled a series of futuristic, athlete-centric e-reforms. Among the key initiatives is the introduction of digital ID cards for players, simplifying registration and verification processes. These ID cards are directly downloadable from the Hockey India Member Units Portal.

 

 

Hockey India has also fully integrated with DigiLocker, enabling athletes to access all their certificates from the Hockey India National Championships-including those dating back to the past five years. Another major advancement is the Athlete Management System (AMS)-a digital platform launched to track player performance, manage tournament data, and monitor athlete development across all age groups.

 

 

 

In addition to technological enhancements, Hockey India has also expanded the Member Units Portal to district-level compliance. Further reinforcing its focus on athlete welfare, Hockey India has announced a grant of Rs 2 lakhs to national team players who are currently unemployed.
