In all, 30 states and Union Territories took part in the inaugural edition of the Khelo India Tribal Games (KITG) that saw close to 3800 participants compete in nine sports disciplines. A whopping 106 gold medals were on offer across archery, athletics, football, hockey, swimming, weightlifting, and wrestling, while traditional sports like mallakhamb and kabaddi were the demonstration sports.

The Games were held in three cities in Chhattisgarh – Raipur, Jagdalpur, and Ambikapur.
