To ensure maximum participation and to make Khelo India Youth Games-2021 a success, ‘Raahgiri Relay
Programmes’ will be organised in every district prior to the games. In these ‘Raahgiri Relay Programmes’ local
players who have performed at the National and International Level will be involved so that the public is motivated
to see their heroes. ‘Dhakad on Wheels’, a dedicated vehicle displaying torch and mascot will tour the state to
promote Khelo India Youth Games-2021 as a part of ‘Raahgiri Relay Programmes’.
This was stated by Additional Principal Secretary to Chief Minister Haryana and Director General, Information,
Public Relations and Languages Department, Dr. Amit Agrawal while chairing a review meeting with Deputy
Commissioners, Superintendents of Police, officers of the Sports Department and DIPROs held here in
Chandigarh through video conferencing regarding Khelo India Youth Games-2021.
"Since Khelo India Youth Games-2021 is a major sports event for Haryana, a buzz, especially among the youth,
should be created through these Raahgiri Relay Programmes. The Deputy Commissioners should also organize at
least one sports event out of five traditional games like Gatka, Kalaripayattu, Thang-Ta, Malkhamb and Yogasana
to be played at Khelo India Games-2021, said Agrawal.
