New Zealand U20 Rugby Series: Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Raksha Khadse on Tuesday said sport can transcend borders, foster mutual understanding and strengthen bilateral relations as the India-New Zealand U20 Rugby Series concluded at the Rajgir Sports Complex.

The series was organised as part of the ‘100 Years of Unity through Sport’ initiative, marking a century of sporting ties between India and New Zealand. It brought together the U20 men’s and women’s teams of both countries for competitive matches, joint training sessions and cultural exchanges.
