Kendriya Vidyalaya No 1, Amritsar Cantt: Promises to keep aloft the banner of National Pride Hockey

Enter the Main Gate of K.V. No 1 Amritsar, you will be dazed to see the spacious play grounds, surrounded by lush green woodstock. Surely, a temptation, an open invitation for anyone to play. Perhaps no other school in Amritsar has such an infrastructure as does the K.V. No 1. It is because KVs are pace-setting institutions, creating record every year. These KVs aim at the multifaceted and harmonious development of the students. Sports and Games being the integral part of our life, it should be encouraged. Keeping this in view Principal Mrs. Sunita Luna decided to take a few steps for promoting our National Game Hockey.

“We all make a hue and cry that Hockey has lost its grandeur and glory, charm and attraction, but we forget the fact what is our contribution towards it?
Principal Mrs. Sunita Luna invited hockey buff Prof Paramjit Singh Randhawa to motivate young generation. He addressed them in the Morning Assembly. Prof. Randhawa requested the school Management not only to introduce Hockey but also spare no effort to popularize it.

K.V. No.1 is an accomplished institution, having almost two thousand six hundred students on its rolls. Most of the students have army Background — and fittingly Hockey Wizard Dhian Chand was fro the ranks of Indian Army. Mrs. Sunita Luna is very keen to introduce & Promote Hockey, she wants players to be very disciplined.

It is her desire that players should be good in studies also. The P.E.T. of K.V.No.1 is also a great fan of Hockey and is determined to do whatever he can, for the promotion of Hockey with his 100% involvement. Mrs. Luna further proposed that Inter-School Competitions should be organized; she is generous enough to offer K.V. NO 1 Amritsar as a Venue, so that interest of more and more students be inculcated in Hockey.

The lecture of Prof. Randhawa had an instant impression on the students, a number of boys and girls came forward to play the game. Prof. Randhawa said, “Who knows?. Amongst these children will emerge Dhyan Chand, Dhanraj Pillay, Mukesh, Gagan Ajit and Jugraj, Ms Rajbir Kaur, Ms. Surinder Kaur.

Mrs. Luna assures, if needed, K.V. Management will appoint a coach for goalkeepers, besides a penalty corner specialist.

The school will invite renowned Hockey players to motivate their school team. K.V.No. 1 is holding Top-most position in the sphere of Sports and Games in Jammu Region. Inclusion of Hockey will be another feather in its cap.
