Odisha Chief Minister’s contribution to Hockey has been unmatched. From hosting mega events with the Hockey India to sponsoring the National Teams, Odisha has done it all.
India fought back brilliantly from a two-goal deficit to beat Germany 5-4 to win the Bronze Medal in men’s hockey at the Olympics after a gap of 41 years.
