Khel Mahakumbh: India's Biggest Grassroots Sports Festival Explained
Khel Mahakumbh (literally "the great gathering of sports") is a state-run, multi-level sports festival that lets anyone, from a village school student to a 60-plus senior, compete in dozens of sports for free. It starts at the school, village or panchayat level and climbs through taluka, district and state rounds, with cash prizes, talent scouting and, in some states, government job reservation for medal winners.
