With the participation of 35 states and UTs and Boards and close to 400 boxers, the championships will be played as per the International Boxing Association’s (AIBA) revised weight divisions, increased from 10 to 13.
The 2017 World Championships bronze medallist Gaurav Bidhuri will be another notable name to be seen in action in the seven-day event.
The prestigious domestic boxing event is making a comeback after a gap of one year due to the Covid-19 pandemic with the last edition being held in 2019 in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh.

The gold and silver medallists of the National Championships will join the national coaching camp.
