Kho Kho prominence on the rise: KKFI president Sudhanshu Mittal

New Delhi, Oct 26 (UNI) Kho kho, a traditional Indian game of 'Tag', is now gaining popularity among youngsters in the country and with its experienced player Sarika Kale being honoured with Arjuna Award this year, it has led to a refreshed energy within the Kho kho community.
On Monday, Kho Kho Federation of India (KKFI) president Sudhanshu Mittal expressed his joy over the rise in the game, saying the nation's indigenous sport is finally being recognised as a career option amongst the players and will no longer just be a pleasure play.
"I want to thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju ji for helping in promoting kho kho. Earlier, for government jobs (in sports quota) kho kho was not considered but now kho kho players -- who did great -- can also get a job under that scheme. And the credit to this goes to the central government," Mittal said as per a media release.
