The World Para Athletics Grand: The second edition of Khelo India Para Games (KIPG 2025) is set to begin on Thursday and the 2024 Paralympics gold-winning archer Harvinder Singh can’t be more excited. The 34-year-old archer believes KIPG has brought international standards of competition and has become a prominent platform for youngsters to showcase their talent.

Harvinder, who will return to KIPG 2025 after taking part in the inaugural edition in December 2023, praised the format and selection procedure of Khelo India Para Games and explained how it boosts the performance of all para athletes across India.

"The top 16 athletes at the national level are selected for the Khelo India Para Games. It motivates all athletes to win medals at the national level. If an athlete is unable to win a medal, then they try their best to finish in top 16 to be eligible to compete in the KIPG.
