Taking a cue from the BCCI, Hockey India is set to organise a grand felicitation function for its yesteryear stars who will be paid a one-time benefit for their contribution to the game. The felicitation-cum-Olympic team send-off ceremony will be held at a city hotel on June 24 where 34 of the living Olympic gold medallists will be presented with cash reward of Rs two lakh each. PTI quotes Hockey India Secretary General Narinder Batra as saying that in future,the organisation also plans to honour the families of those Olympians who are not alive. HI's decision comes close on the heels of the BCCI's move to distribute a one-time benefit payment among the Test and first-class cricketers of the country. During the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League which ended last month, the BCCI distributed cheques ranging from Rs 3 to 15 crore among the former cricketers. Batra also said that they have decided to club the felicitation as well as the team's send-off ceremony to provide a common platform to yesteryear stars and the Olympic-bound team.
