The Sports Authority of India (SAI) held presentations and discussions with the state governments of\u00a0Assam,\u00a0Jharkhand, and\u00a0Maharashtra\u00a0to explore the possibility of conducting the\u00a0Khelo India\u00a0Youth Games in their respective capitals, next year.
\nThe move is aimed at taking forward the agenda of sports development at the grassroots level which is the core of the\u00a0Khelo India\u00a0Scheme. This will also provide the states with an opportunity to conduct an event of international standards thereby creating a legacy of sports infrastructure as well as an environment to encourage sportspersons.
\nThe three states were invited for discussions as they have experience of holding the South Asian Games (Assam), National Games (Jharkhand) and Commonwealth Youth Games (Maharashtra).
\nThey made presentations on the infrastructure available in the state, upgradation required as well as the contribution that the states would make in this regard.
\nAll proposals will be evaluated by the\u00a0SAI\u00a0and the\u00a0Ministry of Sports\u00a0to take a final decision.
\nMany of the medal winners of the\u00a0Khelo India\u00a0School Games, which were held in January this year, have been incorporated in the\u00a0Khelo India\u00a0Talent Identification Scheme in which 734 children have been provided with training, education allowance as well as a monthly allowance of Rs.10,000.
\nKhelo India\u00a0School Games participants also went on to break national records in the country as well as abroad. In view of this, there has been considerable interest amongst the state governments to host this event in January 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
