Question

What efforts have been done by the Indian government decicated to the memory of Major Dhyan Chand

Answer 1

Answer:

In its first game in the tournament, Dhyan Chand as the centre-forward, and Marthins, their inside-right, performed very well together. Chand attracted much attention by his clever stick-work. His penetrating runs and judicious passes seemed to assure for him a position in the team that is to take part in the Olympic Games. Early in the game, it became evident that Chand was at his best. In combination with Marthins he took the ball away to the right and Marthins did well to give him a good pass. Quick as lightning, Dhyan Chand shot a goal. The ball struck one of the defenders' stick and went into the net, giving goalkeeper Collie no chance. A goal within 3 minutes of the start was more than what the most optimistic of the UP supporters could expect. At the interval, UP led by three goals to nil.

Answer 2

Answer:

In a bid to honour Dhyan Chand, the Government of India renamed The National Stadium in Delhi to Dhyan Chand National Stadium in 2002. Also, the prestigious Aligarh Muslim University has named a hostel after the hockey wizard.
