Why is 29th Aug celebrated as National Sports Day?
On National Sports Day 2022, let’s learn about the origin of this special day and its importance. 29th Aug is observed as National Sports Day as it marks the birth anniversary of Major Dhyan Chand who was born on 29th Aug, 1905. National Sports Day pays tribute to the world-famous Indian hockey player who guided his team to winning the prestigious Gold Medal in the Olympics in 1928, 1932 and once again in 1936. Rashtriya Khel Divas was celebrated for the first time in 2012 with the motive to honour sportsmanship and inspire the young generation to participate in various sports.
On this occasion, the President gives away several sports awards named after the hockey legend- Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award and Dhyan Chand Awards. There is also a stadium after his name- the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium in Delhi.
