Hockey at Harkrishan Pub.School, Basant Avenue, Amritsar
Sri Guru Harkrishan Public School, Basant Avenue was established by Chief Khalsa Diwan in April 1986 and is large enough to offer all the benefits with the bright and spacious rooms , activity centers, bustling classrooms and high tech laboratories. With the blessings of Sri Guru Harkrishan Sahib Ji, our school is affiliated with I.C.S.E. i.e. Board for Anglo Indian Education. The aim of this board is to serve the nation’s children through high quality educational endeavors, empowering them to contribute towards the humane just and pluralistic society , by creating exciting learning opportunities , with a commitment to excellence.
The school has attained the status of one of the most prestigious institution of the city with the strong system of education and it strives for human excellence by blending the Indian culture with the modern times without losing its traditional essence. The school provides an environment which is rich and wholesome free from fear and stress and facilitates the implementation of all around development of an individual.
Mrs. Nirmal Kaur joined this institution in 1989 and left no stone unturned to scale new hights of success and and till today she is making ardent efforts in promoting the highest standards of education as well as sports that’s why our children are good in studies as well as sports. When the hockey buff Prof. Paramjit Singh Randhawa met the principal and addressed the assembly by saying who knows that the budding Dhyan Chand, Gagan Ajit and Jugraj are standinng amongst us, this speech was quite touching and it left an everlasting impression on the minds of our students.
Keeping in view, Principal Mrs Nirmal Kaur decided to take mandatory steps for our national game which has lost his magnificence. She added further that there is an urgent need to respect this game. The students were inspired to participate in our National game.
The role of Chief Khalsa Diwan in promoting sports in schools under his ages is highly commendable CKD has always given utmost importance to games in its schools because the physical and mental well being of students has always been the top priority of the CKD. Interschool sports competitions are held every year. Highly talented and proficient coaches are hired to train the students in various sports and it is no surprise that our students are highly motivated, competent and disciplined. Our budding sportsmen have learnt the art of taking victory as well as defeat in their stride. Kareem Abdul Jabbar says “ you can’t win unless to know how to loose”.
Under the dynamic guidance of our stalwarts like S. Charanjit Singh Chadha, President CKD, Dr. Santokh Singh Vice president CKD, S. Bhag Singh Ankhi, Hony. Sec. CKD and S. Nirmal Singh, Resident president CKD, Member Incharge Basant Avenue, S. Gurcharan Singh Manni Member Incharge Basant Avenue, the 10th SGHPS CKD tournament 2008 was conducted at School ground, E- Block, Ranjit Avenue, Amritsar and for the first time in the history of CKD sports, the grand opening of Hockey tournament was hosted. This tournament was for under –14 boys group and added grandeur and grace to this momentous occasion.
This tournament was possible only due to the motivation and encouragement given to the students by Prof Randhawa who ignited the spirit in the young minds to strive for excellence in this sport .
Inclusion of Hockey Tournament was an another jewel added to the crown of our institution. Diligent efforts were made by Prof. Randhawa, who ignited the spirit of hockey in this institution. For making this tournament possible, he had time to time talk with the budding sportsmen. He took painstaking efforts while maintaining the hockey ground. He is nurturing this particular sport as a blooming bud and aspire to see it as a well groomed flower for the pride of our nation.

Starting a team is good things. but the authorities should groom the teams also. Because it takes time to build a good, result giving team.
every indian can do something if he or she wants to promote hockey -even if you are making a poster or a sketch of a hockey star or put it somewhere if it attracts some eyes you are promoting hockey .SUCH ATTEMPTS SHOULD BE MADE IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES .DR. .. Ghuman LUDHIANA CIVIL LINES
Chief Khalsa diwan should intorduce Hockey Teams in all its schools,because branches of Harkrishan public school are almost in all parts of punjab.It will help students to understand Hockey.As athlectic Games are there, Hockey tournaments should also be held every year.Then students will start taking interest in Hockey.
chak de india film’s dream will certainly come true this way, thanks indeed.
In India,Hockey game gets nothing in particular except that it is our national game,why so?? Why Hockey is being ignored and why we are mad after one game that is Tamasha Cricket??It is really miserable.Introducing hockey in schools can write a different story..God Bless!!

CHAK DE HOCKEY BASANT AVENUE PUBLIC SCHOOL
hie indians!it is b’coz of commercialisation of sports that hockey is suffering from name and fame.What a pitty that our national game in our country is being ignored by their country men and women?It is very sorry state of indian sports culture.It is high time to change all this that is going on.Its good that hockey is being familiar by small children by introducing in schools
Show student power and help hockey in every possible way.Myself Neha Mahajan would like to request students of schools and colleges of India to come forward to extend helping hand towards hockey our national game.Hockey needs helping hands of sponsers,media,actors, government and we the people of india also. But all these are in greed asleep.So we should wake up.Say CHAK DE INDIA.
CHAK DE INDIA(HOCKEY)
I m Inderpreet Singh.I am the product of Sri guru Harkrishan Public School,basant avenue…It is a great school both in terms of education and sports and the school has flurished a lot under the principle-ship of Mrs.Nirmal kaur and sarting the Game of Hockey will add five stars to this school.Sikhs have brought a grace to the field of sports,particularly to the Hockey…..I think to start this game is doing a great job and hats off to those people who have made an efforts to promote this game………..
I think a revolution in the society can be brought with the help of students as they have new ideas and new thinking and have the power to make changes but proper guidance can change our society and can also make the game of hockey to flurish and boom like flowers again in India ………..
PROMOTE HOCKEY..
