Kho Kho gets spot in nat’l sports calendars
Orissa POST
|July 30, 2025
In yet another major milestone for Kho Kho, the sport has now been formally included in the annual sports calendar of All India Electricity Sports Control Board (AIESCB), the premier governing body committed to the regulation and advancement of sports within the electricity sector across India.
The Kho Kho Federation of India (KKFI) said this is a development that underscores the sport’s rising stature.
The announcement was made during the AIESCB’s General Body Meeting held in Mumbai, where the sport was recognised as an official discipline alongside 16 other sports like cricket, football, kabaddi, badminton, hockey, and tennis among others.
This significant development marks a growing trend among government and semi-government organisations to embrace Kho Kho as a mainstream sport, thereby expanding its presence across major sporting calendars of various government, non-government and autonomous bodies.

Protesters march towards Indian mission in Dhaka
India's tit-for-tat move in summoning the Bangladesh envoy, days after Dhaka called in India's representative, underscores worsening ties between the neighbours. Relations have frayed since Sheikh Hasina's ouster, marked by anti-India protests, security concerns around the Indian mission in Dhaka, sharp exchanges over elections and Dhaka's pushback against New Delhi's concerns.
