From Komalika Bari To Anjali Munda, KITG 2026 Reveals A Strong Pipeline Of Future Talent
In all, 30 states and Union Territories took part in the inaugural edition of the Khelo India Tribal Games (KITG) that saw close to 3800 participants compete in nine sports disciplines. A whopping 106 gold medals were on offer across archery, athletics, football, hockey, swimming, weightlifting, and wrestling, while traditional sports like mallakhamb and kabaddi were the demonstration sports.
As India prepares to host the Commonwealth Games 2030 and positions itself as a potential host of the 2036 Summer Olympics, the Khelo India Tribal Games offered athletes from diverse tribal backgrounds an opportunity to showcase their potential and strengthen India’s bench strength across disciplines. The Games were held in three cities in Chhattisgarh – Raipur, Jagdalpur, and Ambikapur.
