Encouragement and support for sports at Tata Steel dates back nearly a century, and is part of its culture. Tata Steel has been one of the foremost corporate promoters of Indian sports – having built academies for football, archery, athletics, hockey and sport climbing.
It was a tradition started by the company’s first chairman Sir Dorabji Tata, who financed India’s first Olympic team to Antwerp, Belgium in 1920. Tata Steel later established the Jamshedpur Athletic Club in 1927, and started sports competitions for working women and children.
The testimony to our efforts in adding value to the overall sports eco system of the country is that Tata Steel has produced 1 Padma Bhushan, 11 Padma Shri, 1 Khel Ratna, 5 Dronacharya and 41 Arjuna Awardees in the field of sports.
Tata Steel has been consistently involved in creating and nurturing professional sportspersons through its academies and grassroots feeder centres. In 1984, Tata Steel set up its Tata Youth Adventure Centre, known today as the Tata Steel Adventure Foundation.
Three years later in 1987, the company launched the Tata Football Academy.
Tata Archery Academy was established in 1996, which has produced many champion players like Deepika Kumari, Jayanta Talukdar, Atanu Das, Limba Ram etc. who have gone on to represent India in Olympics.
Indian athletics, too, received a boost when Tata Steel unveiled the Tata Athletics Academy in 2004. In 2017, Tata Steel for the first time stepped into commercial side of sports when it started Jamshedpur Football Club (JFC), which competes in India’s premier football league the ISL. The same year saw the emergence of Naval Tata Hockey Academy. Tata Steel started this as a joint venture with Tata Trust with an aim to train the budding hockey enthusiasts and in turn bring back the glory of Indian Hockey at the international arena.
Tata Steel has also been running training centres of 19 different sports disciplines in the JRD Sports Complex in Jamshedpur training close to 2500 kids every year.
Meanwhile, apart from promoting professional sportspersons, Tata Steel has also been involved in promoting fitness culture amongst the masses through its marathons which are organized in 5 cities across India.
Six years ago, Tata Steel started the TSK 25 (Tata Steel Kolkata 25), a 25-km marathon that has a social cause at its heart – supporting the Tata Medical Center, a cancer hospital in Kolkata. Tata Steel has also organized running events annually in Jamshedpur and Noamundi (both in Jharkhand) and Bhubaneshwar & Angul (both in Odisha).
Residential sports academies of international standards have been established for preparing international level players:
Inaugurated in 1991, this 30-acre world-class complex in Jamshedpur has a seating capacity of ~25,000. As a multi-use stadium, it provides athletes with boarding and training facilities. The complex has an international-size football field with an eight-lane synthetic running track around the field. This iconic sports stadium is also the home ground for newly formed Jamshedpur FC. It has hosted the home matches of Jamshedpur FC for the ISL Season 2017-18. 2018-19 & 2019-20.
It also houses an Olympic size state-of-the-art swimming pool. It is primarily used for football and athletics, but also offers facilities for 18 sports disciplines such as - archery, basketball, field hockey, swimming, table tennis, tennis, volleyball, etc. The details of facilities provided for running 18 sports Training Centres are mentioned below
This proposal provides an opportunity to the company to add another feather to its cap of by being the first private company to open a hockey academy. There is a vast pool of natural talent in hockey in this area, who need proper technical and administrative support to make their mark in the global sports arena.
Mr Naval Tata had only one passion in sports, which was hockey. During his tenure as President, Indian Hockey Federation (IHF), India won the Gold at Olympics. The moment he left the IHF, India lost the gold to Pakistan in the next Olympics itself. It is because of his love of hockey, he continued to be the President of Bombay Hockey Association long after relinquishing the Indian Hockey Federation Chair.
Hockey’s power centres in India are located away from the metropolitan areas. They are in the tribal belts of Jharkhand, Odisha, Jalandhar and Sansarpur in the hinterland of Punjab. The first Indian hockey captain was from Jharkhand - Late Jaipal Singh.
There would be many more job opportunities available for cadets of hockey academy (compared to some like archery and football) since many Government Sector and Public-Sector units have their hockey team. Moreover, with the success of Indian Hockey League (IHL), the demand for quality players is going to increase.
The location for NTHA has been identified and is being developed at ISWP Sports Complex in Jamshedpur.
An MoU between Tata Steel (TSL) and Sports Authority of India (SAI) was signed on October 7, 2015 at Jamshedpur. The objective of the MoU is to strengthen the development of boxing, athletics, archery and football at Jamshedpur by way of convergence of efforts and partnership between SAI and TSL.
Broad areas of cooperation include:
Tata Steel, under the aegsis of Tata Group, successfully bid for the Jamshedpur franchise in the 4th season of the coveted Indian Super League (ISL). The Company has been a pioneer in the development of sports in India, and this is in furtherance of the same.
The club will be playing their home matches at the iconic JRD Tata Sports Complex. The team will be under the guidance of head coach Steve Coppell in the 2017-18 Indian Super League season.
