Khel Mahakumbh Emerges as Talent Hub in Delhi
Khel Mahakumbh, a city-level multi-sport event, is emerging as a key platform to identify young athletic talent in Delhi, officials said this week, as hundreds of school and grassroots athletes compete across disciplines. The ongoing initiative is being held at multiple venues across the national capital.
Organised by the Delhi government, the event aims to spot promising athletes early and guide them into structured training programs. “This is about creating opportunities at the grassroots,” a sports department official said, noting strong participation from government schools.
Coaches overseeing the trials said the competition level has been encouraging. “We are seeing raw talent that just needs exposure and support,” one trainer remarked. Former athletes have also praised the initiative, calling it a vital step toward building a sustainable sports ecosystem. With finals approaching, several standout performers are already being earmarked for advanced coaching camps.
