When he was elected President of the International Hockey Federation in Dubai in November 2016 Dr Narinder Batra stated in his presentation prior to voting, “I would like to take Hockey across the globe, extend the boundaries.” He went on to say “if you want to grow and you want Hockey to remain in the Olympics hockey has to spread, and nowadays everything is calculated in terms of how much is your viewership, how much you earn out of it, which I call reach and revenue. Reach means expand your boundaries. We can’t restrict ourselves to Top 10 or 12, it has to be spread, and spread across the globe. That is when your reach will increase.”
