‘Mini Khel Mahakumbh’ To Be Held In Surat From January 9 To 12
Veer Narmad South Gujarat University: At a time when children are increasingly glued to mobile phones and digital gadgets, Gandhinagar-based Children’s Research University has taken a commendable initiative to bring Gujarat’s young talent back to the playground and nurture their abilities through a scientific approach. The university will organise the State-level ‘Under-11 Athletics Meet Season 4.0’ in Surat from January 9 to 12, 2026.
The event has generated enthusiastic participation, with more than 4,500 child athletes registering from across the state. Envisioned as a ‘Mini Khel Mahakumbh’, the meet is not merely a competition but a concerted effort to identify and provide a platform for Gujarat’s hidden sporting talent at an early age. A total of 11 athletic events will be held during the meet. As many as 1,056 winners will be awarded prize money amounting to Rs 22 lakh.
In addition, winning athletes will get a direct opportunity for admission to the District Level Sports School (DLSS) run by the Sports Authority of Gujarat (SAG), a move expected to be a game-changer for their sporting careers.
