New Delhi: Hockey India on Sunday announced that the national sports federation will be expanding the Member Units Portal to include information about district unit compliances.
As part of the initiative, Hockey India has requested States Member Units to complete their paperwork for District Compliances from their respective states and upload it on the Member Units Portal so that Hockey India can track their progress and make the data transparent. The step aims to promote good governance across all regions while also digitising data to reduce reliance on paper, said a press release by Hockey India.
