• Make celebrities endorse hockey and hence enhance glamour


associated
• Improve the on-field infrastructure to attract crowds during
matches.

stadiums; if not ,empty stadiums de motivates people from
watching the sport even on television.
• Conduct pre-match ‘chat-patah’ sessions to attract hockey
non-enthusiasts.

What we want to prove now ?
By taking up survey in full form we want to
prove below mentioned assumption of us, quantifying it
through data survey and analysis . The assumptions
have been arrived from the finding mentioned
previously….
We want to prove…..

Ø Poor infrastructure impacts the performance of the


players.
Ø Performance of the Indian National Hockey team
impacts the viewership
Ø Lack of administrative effort to popularize the game
amongst youngsters (schools/colleges) is decreasing
the popularity of the sport.
Ø Absence of glamour contributes to the declining
visibility of the game vis-à-vis other sports such
as cricket.
Ø Revival of hockey needs strong media (both print
Indian Hockey Survey
as well as visual) backing.

Our Recommendations….
Well after the completion of the survey we came to the
following conclusions:

• Improvement in the interest level of hockey requires


inclination, focus and effort from the administration to
promote the game amongst the younger people ( try
and start promoting the game in majority of schools
and colleges which are backed by proper facilities).

• Improvements can also be sought in areas such as


the infrastructure of hockey grounds in India
( Astroturf pitches being of utmost importance).

• Finally, improvements aimed at the state of Indian


Hockey cannot be attained without active participation
Indian Hockey Survey
from the print and visual media and media can also
play a huge role in the penetration of the game into
