College authorities to submit proposal to govt. to elevate it into an international hockey turf
The historic Olympic bronze medal win by the Indian hockey team and the outstanding performance of its star goalkeeper P.R. Sreejesh seem to have revived hopes of giving a facelift to the unkempt hockey ground of Maharaja’s College, Ernakulam. The waterlogged ground filled with overgrown grass has been in a state of neglect for long. Young talents dreaming of making it big in the sport were left to grope in the dark thanks to the poor state of the ground. “We are planning to submit a proposal to the government to elevate the existing ground into an international-level hockey turf. The idea is to develop a hockey hub that offers a platform for budding talents to nurture their skills,” said N. Ramakanthan, chairman of the college governing council.
