Diu set to host inaugral Khelo India Beach Games
After a 12-day stay in Patna for the Youth Games, the Khelo India caravan now moves to Diu for the Beach Games set to kick off on Monday, May 19, on the Ghoghla Beach. Over 1000 athletes, men and women, from 36 States and Union Territories will be participating in six medal events: beach soccer, beach volleyball, sepak takraw, beach kabaddi, pencak silat, and open water swimming. Tug of war and Mallakhamb will be there as demonstration sports. This is the first time that the Beach Games are being held under the Khelo India initiative. Last year, Diu hosted the Games – organised by the local administration of the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Diu and Daman – which saw Madhya Pradesh emerge as the winner. 'Every Khelo India event is a new opportunity for young boys and girls. Not just a sports platform, Khelo India events showcase the nation's capability to stage a repertoire of sports. Not just spotting talent, Khelo India is also generating awareness on sports and fitness,' said Mayank Srivastava, the Deputy Director General of the Sports Authority of India, ahead of the six-day tournament.
