Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel on October 6 inaugurated the state’s own Olympics. The multi-sport event will continue till January 6, 2023 and includes several traditional games. The government also released a press release about the event.

“Chhattisgarh is known for its rich and unique culture and tradition. However, as modern civilization grows, people are gradually forgetting their old culture and traditions. Soon after taking charge as Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, Bhupesh Baghel started working on an action plan to promote the state’s glorious culture and tradition. Now, Baghel has undertaken a special initiative to revive one of the most delightful parts of our age-old tradition--traditional games--in a grand way by organising the Chhattisgarhiya Olympics,” they shared.
