TT: Bihar eyes glory through Khelo India Youth Games

Rajgir, May 6 (UNI) The table tennis events at the Khelo India Youth Games, beginning Tuesday at Hall No. 3 of the Sports Academy and University, are more than just another youth sporting fixture.
For the young, under-18 talents gathering from across India, it is a platform to test their mettle. But for Bihar, hosting a multi-district, grassroots sporting spectacle of this scale, it is a litmus test for the state’s sporting ambitions and infrastructure.
The 7th edition of the Games, spanning five districts and inaugurated virtually by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar joining from Patna, is a milestone moment for Bihar. The Government of India and the Sports Authority of India deserve credit, not just for delivering world-class infrastructure but bringing a sense of optimism and opportunity to the state’s sporting community.
