The Khelo India Youth Games is back after the pandemic with a grand launching ceremony of its 4th edition through the unveiling of mascot, logo, jersey and theme song.

The logo sports a running athlete in saffron and green colours along with other elements that signify the essence and glory of the state of Haryana. The mascot is Dhaakad, which is the bull that is believed to be the secret behind the superhuman strength of Haryana’s sons and daughters. The anthem song, penned and performed by rap star Raftaar, glorifies almost every sports star of the state, including hockey legend Sandeep Singh, India’s first Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra, wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Ravi Dahiya, Kapil Dev and Sakshi Malik.

We can’t wait to welcome the country’s youngest sporting talent to our beloved state,” Manohar Lal said.
