The Khelo India Youth Games 2025 is a landmark event for Bihar, as the state is hosting the prestigious sports festival for the first time from May 4 to May 15, 2025. The event was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Patna and symbolically launched by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya. With a vibrant logo and mascot inspired by the region’s cultural and historical richness—such as the Gajsingh figure from Pala-period temples and elements like Madhubani art and Chhath Puja—the Games aim to boost youth involvement in sports and enhance Bihar’s sports infrastructure and cultural pride.
