New Delhi [India], July 6 (ANI): In a significant move towards e-governance, Hockey India has launched a pioneering initiative that allows players to download their ID cards from the Member Units Portal directly. This development positions Hockey India as one of the first sports federations in India to implement such a digital system, akin to the Aadhaar card model.
This new system offers several key features, including the ability for players to obtain their ID cards digitally, a streamlined process from registration to ID card acquisition, and increased accessibility and convenience, as per an official Hockey India release.
