The tournament is being held under the aegis of Dilip Tirkey Sports Research and Development Foundation.
More than 1500 teams from rural areas in and around Odisha will participate in this event which will make it one the biggest sports tournament in the entire world, said Tirkey.
Padmashri Sudarsan Patnaik and Padmashri Ignace Tirkey (former India Hockey captain) have given their consent to be The Brand Ambassadors of the Championship.
"Talents when given proper direction will help strengthen our national team. Promoting it in the rural area will not only spread awareness but also help them move ahead in the field of hockey. Apart from identifying talents and training them, this movement will help bring the previous glory that India had as a Hockey champion in the minds of people," Tirkey said.
