The Secretary, Games Committee, Prof. Tariq Mansoor has expressed happiness over this matter and hoped that the laying of Hockey Astro Turf will go a long way in revival of Hockey at AMU and restoration of its glory in this field. Prof. Mansoor said that after the Astro Turf is laid, AMU will become the centre for Hockey Activities in Western UP.

 Prof. Tariq Mansoor thanked the Vice-Chancellor of AMU, Prof. PK Abdul Azis for his keen interest and help in this matter. One of the long standing requirements of the Games Committee has been met by the sanction of Synthetic Hockey Turf which is expected to be in place within one year.
