HISTORY: Indian women's hockey too has a rich legacy, but was only eclipsed totally by the historical supremacy of their men's counterpart. First Women's hockey Club in India was formed in 1982. It was called Wanderers Athletic Club, controlled by men, but only women competed. Some more clubs added, Calcutta hosted the First women's Hockey Tournament, won by the Wanderers. Rovers came second. Delhi hosted the first inter-Provincial Championship 10 years later. Bengal won with Delhi coming second. It was held three years more but the World war II broke out, the Championship was discontinued. Then IHF president Naval Tata again started a full Inter-Provincial Championship, it was held in Mumbai in 1947 and 1948, which were officially the start of Nationals for women.
