Union Sports Ministry opens first-ever Khelo India Beach Games at Blue-Flag Ghoghla Beach; Andaman LG among dignitaries as athletes from coastal and land-locked states compete in 8 disciplines.
Under the guidance of the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and the Tribal Council of Car Nicobar, the initiative aims to identify and nurture athletic potential among young girls from remote communities.
The initiative aims to tap into the region’s aquatic talent, with a special preference for young swimmers who have previously shown sporting prowess. “Watersports are Andaman’s natural strength. We’re looking to nurture raw potential into national-level excellence,” said a senior coach.
