It was yet
another milestone in the history of the Jawaharlal
Nehru Hockey Tournament Society when it introduced
Prize Money in the Sub-Junior (under 15 years),
the Junior (under 17 years) and the Senior Nehru
Hockey Tournaments from the year 1987. The Prize
Money Scheme has helped greatly in providing incentives
to the teams and also in generating greater interest
for the game of Hockey. The Society is indeed grateful
to Late Shri R.K. Jaichandra Singh, the then Minister
of Chemicals and Petrochemicals for arranging handsome
Prize Money through Public Sector Undertakings-
the Hindustan Organic Chemicals Ltd. (for Junior
Tournament) and the Hindustan Antibiotics Ltd. (for
Sub-Junior Tournament) of the value of Rs. 2.31
Lacs for each tournament. M/s H.O.C. and the Life
Insurance Corporation of India even contributed
Rs. 17.12 Lacs & Rs. 10.00 Lacs respectively
to serve as a corpus for the Prize Money in the
Junior and Senior tournament respectively.
Later on, the Prize Money was introduced in the
Champion College Tournament from 1993 and in the
Girls Tournament from 1994.
Earlier, the prize money in the Junior tournaments
was distributed between the institutions and the
players on 50:50 basis. However, from the year 2002
the entire Prize Money is now being awarded only
