Khelo India Beach Games ‘open New Doors Of Opportunity’ For Nagaland’s Sepak Takraw Girls
Khelo India Beach Games: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his video message during the inauguration of the first edition of the Khelo India Beach Games, spoke about the transformative power of sports, saying the KIBG would become a milestone in India’s sporting history.
Puleno Neikha, coach of Nagaland’s women’s sepak takraw team, wholeheartedly echoes PM Modi’s sentiments. According to her, the impact of sports has already begun to show in her state over the past few years, and this remarkable initiative by the Government of India will now open up new avenues of opportunity for Nagaland girls.
Sepak takraw is the most prevalent and popular sport in Nagaland. It was introduced in the state in 1995 as a recreational activity, initiated by physical education teacher Holse Khario and supported technically by the Sports Authority of India. Since then, sepak takraw has come a long way in Nagaland, with a large number of boys and girls now registered in the sport.
