in the Department of Sports
and Youth services to
access information about management of Hockey
World Cup, Event Management , fund paid
to Hockey India, donors
for HWC -2018, sponsoring organization etc. The
PIOs of the Department systematically
denied to supply the
information taking different
pleas . In view of repeated denial of information,
series of Second Appeals and Complaints were filed
in the Information commission. Hearing
of all the cases have started
from 2022. With order of the
Commission, the PIO and referred
PIOs of S&YS have
started supplying information. This information exposed
how huge amount of
money given to Hockey India
and expenses made
for various program.

found that Hockey India was provided
Rs. 25 crore for
organizing event of Hockey World
Cup-2018 in Odisha . During

film stars were
invited for hosting events and
performing cultural events. The question of how much was being paid to them
was raised in public domain . keeping
it in view , RTI query was made
about details of activities/ works undertaken / organized by Hockey India for
World Cup amount paid

dated 30.5.23 has replied
that “ the total Hockey Cup was organized
