Panposh Hostel of Rourkela is the nerve center of hockey. Hosting of #OdishaHockeyWorldCup2023 matches in Rourkela will be befitting tribute to the contribution of Sundergarh to Indian hockey. It will put Rourkela in global map and promote hockey in big way in hockey heartland. pic.twitter.com/BO8r9LrdpX
