Its a good move that Hokey is moved to the priority list. I think athletics should have also featured in this priority list. The cash rich BCCI should channelise some of its money to these sports also. Govt should give more grants to this orphaned games unlike cricket who has a guardian in every street of India.
ANYWAY THANKS MR MINISTER GILL U MUST KILL ALL IWRONGS IN HOCKEY AND ALL GAMES AS PER UR LIST. AND GIVE SOME ATTN TO ATHELETICS ALSO LOT OF STRIBS ARE DOING WEL IN ALL SPORTS, SO FIND OUT THEM AND HANDOVER THEM TO RIGHT AND TRUE HUNGRY COACHES THEN THEY WILL SHOW THEMSELVES TO LIFT OUR NATIONAL FLAG UP IN ALL INTERNATIONAL SPORTS MEETS AND NOT ONLY IN OLIMPIC.HOCKEY SLAVE RAMAKRISHNAN FROM TIRUPUR TAMILNADU
THANKS A LOT,Mr.M.S.Gill for making the above disciplines in PRIORITY LIST.This decision & action will go a long way in developing Hockey & Football in India and to encourage children & youths in taking up Sports seriously.
we heard a good news from minister after long time breaking from cricket.
I request IHF, football federation and basketball fed to start IPL style city based team and competition so that it attracts more people , generates enough money for players and youngsters area attracted to these games. please look at it.

Indian Hockey already has city based PHL,(Premier Hockey League)Teams like Hyderabad Sultans,Shere Jallander,Chandighar Dynamos,Chennai Veerans,Orissa Steelers etc
Well done Mr Gill! Hearing some good news about sports other than cricket after a long- long time. Carry on with your efforts of providing a phillip to all these prioritised disciplines. Our country needs activists like you.
The upgradation of Hockey was overdue. It should be made compulsory in schools in all states. Also, Ajit Pal Singh, M.P.Ganesh, MM Kaushik, should be in overall charge of IHF.And, needless to say, KPS Gill needs to go. Dr Shankar Kumar Chatterjee
I sincerely hope that these changes are not just cosmetic changes, but a harbinger of good times that we seem to have lost in the annals of time. I sincerely hope that hockey is brought back to the mainstream national conscience through sustained exposure and media coverage.
India has the required expertise to beat the best in the world through our own indigenous methods. Let us get the right people to play and to govern. I have nothing for or against KPS Gill and neither for or against MS Gill. As long as decisions are taken on meaningful assumptions, hockey can flourish. Let the beautiful game have the resurrection that it so badly requires.
A good start has been made. I welcome the decision.
