About Us

The advent of Nehru Hockey’s Senior open tournament in Delhi in the mid – 60’s was a boost in the arm for the game.

The Nehru tournament was the best thing that happened to Indian hockey and when the organizers with some big names as patrons and bureaucracy running the show expanded the idea and introduced tournament for juniors and sub – juniors, the public feeling was that Indian hockey had a last found a good base to sustain itself.

The Society has a very high profile administration with some influential people who have held senior - most positions in the Government and have the same time been connected with the game at one stage or other. It has now entered into the 50th year of its fruitful existence.

What prompted the birth of the Society is an interesting story, worth recalling, though briefly. The shock defeat of the Indian team in 1960 Rome Olympic final to our archrivals Pakistan, breaking the country’s longest chain of success in Olympic Games since as far back as in 1928, brought an amalgamation of Hockey lovers and Olympians, who had put their collective ideas for the revival of the National game, formed the Society in 1964, named after the sports loving country’s first Prime Minister, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru.

The organization of the tournaments is in the capable hands of Dr. D.R. Saini, Vice-President of Society and Chairman, Tournament Committee and Ms. Archna Arora, IAS(Chairperson, NDMC) as Chairperson of the Managing Committee.
