With over 32 percent of its population belonging to tribal communities and a living legacy of indigenous cultures, traditions, and athletic excellence, Chhattisgarh stands not just as a host but as the natural home of these Games.

The KITG will feature a diverse range of disciplines, including Archery, Athletics, Football, Hockey, Swimming, Weightlifting, Wrestling, Mallakhamb, and Kabaddi, hosted across key venues in Chhattisgarh.

The games will also feature two demonstrative disciplines, namely Mallakhamb & Kabaddi, which will be showcased as indigenous sporting traditions with national visibility.
