The 38th National Games : are just around the corner, and preparations are in full swing. Initially, only one hilly district, Tehri was set to host the games. However, three additional locations have now been selected. Yoga will take place in Almora, Mallakhamba in Khatima and boxing in Pithoragarh The National Games will be held in Uttarakhand from January 28 to February 14. Until now, only one hilly district was chosen as a venue, leading to demands for more events to be held in other hilly areas.
Recently, yoga and mallakhamba were included as core sports, which sparked discussions about hosting these events in mountainous regions. Now, it has been decided to hold three sports in these hilly districts. Specifically, Almora will host yoga, while Pithoragarh will be the venue for boxing. The decision to hold boxing in Pithoragarh was made after it was initially proposed for Dehradun However, this change will be confirmed after an inspection by the Director of Competition (DOC)
