National Sports Day in India is observed on August 29 every year as a tribute to Indian hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand, whose birth anniversary falls on this day. To celebrate this day and to highlight the importance of sports in the country, National Sports Awards are presented to sportspersons every year by the President of India at Rashtrapati Bhavan. On National Sports Day 2022, to celebrate all the sportspersons you know and to encourage all kinds of sports as a career, we at LatestLY have curated wishes and messages you can send to friends and family as WhatsApp messages and greetings to celebrate this momentous occasion. National Sports Day 2022 Date in India: History and Significance of the Day That Celebrates the Birth Anniversary of Hockey Legend Major Dhyan Chand
Major Dhyan Chand, also known as the ‘Wizard of Hockey’, was awarded the third-largest civilian honour in India in 1956, the Padma Bhushan Award, for his contributions to the sport, even as the captain of the Indian Hocket Team in the Olympic Games. It was much later after his death in 1979 that the Government of India decided to pay tribute to the legendary hockey player by celebrating his birth anniversary as National Sports Day in 2012. You can share these wishes and messages with all your loved ones to keep the sportsmanship alive!
