Deccan Water Treament joins hockey bandwagon |
Indian
hockey fans got some respite from on going troubles when Hockey India League
announced its new fransee for season three. This news comes after two teams,
Dabur owned Mumbai Magicians and winner of first edition of tournament Ranchi
Rhinos pulled out their teams due to low ROI and differences with Hockey India.
New
HIL franchisee will be based at Pune and is owned by Mr. Anirban Sarkar, owner
of Deccan Water Treatment Private Limited. An avid fan of hockey since his
school days in Pune, Anirban Sarkar decided to enter HIL in order to improve
the future of hockey in the country. Mr. Sarkar has been closely following
Narinder Batra and Hockey India's he decided to enter the field and support the
game.
Mr. Anirban Sarkar Sarkar said: “Having closely and sincerely following the
developments of Hockey in our country under the leadership of Dr. Narinder
Batra, I was very impressed and felt a need to be a part and contribute to the
sport”. Having a love and passion for Hockey since his school days in
Pune, Mr Sarkar says that the city has produced many Hockey Stars for India. “The cradle for Hockey in India has seen
stars like Baboo Nimal, Joseph Philips, Dhanraj Pillay, Vikram Pillay and many
International and national players and I too grew up like many other Pune boys
playing for my school in interschool and Zilla parishad matches with borrowed
hockey sticks from friends. Buying the Pune franchise is the just the beginning
for a larger and better future for the sport in the country.”
Speaking on the announcement Hockey
India Secretary-General and Hero Hockey India League Chairman Dr. Narinder
Batra said “We welcome Deccan
Water Treatment and Mr. Sarkar as the new franchise for next season’s Hockey
India League. These are exciting times for us as a new city will be able to
witness the International tournament and the amount of people we will be
reaching out too will also be more in number.”
Deccan
Water Treatment Pvt Ltd. is a pioneer in the manufacture of R.O.
Systems for drinking water specialized in desalination, defluoridation and
arsenic removal. Starting with package STPs, the company graduated to
technologically savvy sewage treatment options like Suspended Media Bio Reactor
(SMBR) and Sludge Return Bio Reactor (SRBR), which have been immensely
successful. Without resting on its laurels, the company diversified into
treatment of sewage through Ultra Violet rays by indigenously developed
Floating Bed Catalytic Reactor wherein the treated sewage is fit for recycling
and reuse in flushing and gardening, without any tertiary treatment.Following
the exponential growth in the field of water and waste water treatment during
the last 14 years, we have now diversified into new emerging area called the
Solar energy.
Deccan Water Treatment Pvt Ltd has been supporting hockey in India and recently they played sponsors to 4th Sub-Junior National Hockey Championship
This news of Pune coming in as a new franchisee is
quite a shock as the city does not have a stadium to host the matches and same
was communicated by HIL chairman Narinder Batra few days ago.
It is also learnt that Pune will replace Ranchi
Rhinos in HIL while a new investor is being sought for the Mumbai franchisee.
Pulling out of two teams means, the mini-auction
which is supposed to happen next month became much bigger with exciting talent
like Manpreet Singh, Mortiz Fuertse and PR Sreejesh in the auction pool.
Third season of Hero Hockey Indiea League will
begin in January 2015.
