Khelo India Youth Games 2024 Tamil Nadu Mascot "Veeramangai" | Xtra Sports
The Khelo India Youth Games 2024 will be held in the state of Tamil Nadu from January 19 to 31.
It will be the sixth edition of the flagship event under the government of India’s Khelo India initiative, which promotes sports at the grassroots levels in the country.
Over 5,000 athletes from all over the country will participate in the Olympic, non-Olympic as well as indigenous games at KIYG 2024. Silambam - a form of Indian martial arts - has been included in the programme for KIYG 2024 as a demo sport.
The Khelo India Youth Games 2024 will be held in four cities: Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai and Trichy. The competitions will be held in the under-18 age category.
The Khelo India Youth Games operates in the format of a team championship, wherein the medals earned by individual athletes or teams contribute to the overall medals tally of their respective State or Union Territory (UT). Upon the event's conclusion, the State or UT securing the highest count of gold medals is declared the winner.
The KIYG 2023 was spread across eight cities in Madhya Pradesh and New Delhi. Over 5,000 athletes, representing the 36 states and Union Territories of India, competed for 973 medals in 27 sports. The host state of Madhya Pradesh boasted the largest contingent of around 500 athletes.
Only two states - defending champions Maharashtra and Haryana - have won the Khelo India Youth Games titles so far.
Haryana topped the Khelo India Youth Games medals table in the inaugural edition in 2018, then called the Khelo India School Games. Maharashtra clinched the KIYG title in 2019 and 2020 before Haryana regained the title in 2022. Maharashtra won the Khelo India Youth Games 2023 title with 56 gold medals, 55 silvers and 50 bronze. Haryana finished second with 41 golds, 32 silvers and 55 bronze.
