A museum will be set up in Madhya Pradesh in memory of hockey legend Major Dhyanchand, who also deserves to get the first Bharat Ratna award in the sports category, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said.

After felicitating the Asian hockey champions, former Olympians and the national junior and sub-junior women's hockey teams for their sparkling performances last night, Chouhan announced that a museum in memory of Dhyanchand will be set up in the state.

Chouhan said it was Dhyanchand who had won three gold medals in Olympics for India and therefore he deserves the Bharat Ratna first more than any other player.
