The governor lieutenant general (retd) Gurmit Singh inaugurated the Khel Mahakumbh- 2022 at Rajiv Gandhi Navodaya Vidyalaya by handing over the flame of the games to players on Saturday. The governor met the players and encouraged them.

Speaking on the occasion, the governor said that the players should have a high level of motivation which would catapult them to heights. Exhorting the players to work hard and dream high, the governor said that they should start preparing for the national games and the Olympics. He expressed hope that the Khel Mahakumbh would be able to prepare a better environment for sports in the State and help the talented players to showcase their talent. The governor said that Uttarakhand has been given the responsibility for organising 38th national games and we should prove worthy of the faith imposed in the State.

Singh further said that the players should understand that only physical attributes and power does not guarantee a victory in sports but it depends on concentration, mental powers and continued practice. He appealed that more and more youngsters should participate in the Khel Mahakumbh.

The Sports minister Rekha Arya said that such events would help in selection of talented players. She said that the players participating in the tournament would make the State proud at national and international levels in future.
