The Khelo India Youth Games are a multi-sport competition hosted each year in India with the goal of developing sports culture and giving young athletes a stage on which to display their abilities. The games, with a focus on grassroots sports development, bring together competitors from around the nation, giving them the chance to compete and socialize with their peers.
The games have been crucial in identifying and developing fresh talent, which has helped India’s sports industry expand as a whole.
The Youth Games 2023 are set to start on January 30. The multi-sport competition in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, will have its fifth iteration in 2023. The spectacular flame, the anthem, and the games’ mascot were unveiled by the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chauhan.
There will be 27 games at the Khelo India Games this year. Water sports have been incorporated into the sporting event for the first time. This time, additional games such as canoe slalom, kayaking, rowing, and canoeing have been included.
