Youth delphic games

Global Youth Cultural Pythian Games: In a significant step for India’s cultural diplomacy, the country will send its first officially organised national youth arts delegation to the 1st Youth Delphic Games of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), scheduled to be held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

The 65-member Indian delegation will depart for Bishkek on March 22, which currently holds the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Chairmanship. The Games are being hosted by the city administration in collaboration with the International Delphic Committee, the apex body that organises Delphic Games across the CIS region.

This marks the first time that an Indian team of artists will participate as a formally constituted national delegation at an international multi-disciplinary cultural competition, on lines comparable to global sporting events.
