This day is celebrated across the country as the birth anniversary of ‘Hockey Wizard’ Major Dhyan Chand to create health awareness and make people more energetic towards different regional sports. With this determination, the Sports Council of NTPC organized 2.5k-5k marathon, volleyball for men and throwball for women for its members.
