The high standard of Hockey that unfolded is indicative of the robust ecosystem that is being built at the grassroots level of the game.States like Odisha have led these efforts, with state-of-the-art infrastructure, experienced coaches and over 22 grassroot training centres to supplement the Odisha Naval Tata Hockey High-Performance Centre.Interestingly, four members of the silver medal-winning Hockey Odisha contingent are products of the grassroots centres.Head Coach, Lakshmi Narayana highlighted the importance of grassroots development and the value it brings towards expediting talent identification.
