Mysore/Mysuru: Congress Rajya Sabha MP from Karnataka, Ajay Maken, has called on the Centre to provide financial assistance for the Kodava Family Hockey Tournament, an annual event hosted by the Kodava community in Kodagu district.
Speaking in the Rajya Sabha yesterday, Maken highlighted that the 2024 Kodava Family Hockey Tournament earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records — a remarkable achievement accomplished without any support from the Union Government, though the State Government had fully backed the event. This, he argued, underscores the urgent need for the Centre’s involvement in such significant sporting events.
