Which set of traditional sports was played in the local tournaments held during the week?
- A.Gilli-danda, lagori, kabaddi and malkhamb
- B.Kabaddi, kho-kho, tug of war and kushti
- C.Kho-kho, archery, kushti and sepak takraw
- D.Volleyball, kabaddi, kho-kho and wrestling on mats
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is kabaddi, kho-kho, tug of war and kushti. NSS units organised local tournaments in these four games, and more than 21,500 participants took part in them, the aim being healthy recreation, teamwork and positive engagement for rural youth. Option A is wrong because, while those are also indigenous games, the first and the last of them were not among the four named for this week. Option C is wrong because archery and sepak takraw are competitive disciplines of a different kind and were not part of the village tournaments described. Option D is wrong because volleyball was not listed, and the wrestling held was kushti on the village ground rather than a mat event. Alongside the games, the service half of the day drew more than 19,800 participants for lane cleaning, sanitation around wells and handpumps and sapling plantation, and awareness activities reached over 18,600 people.
