The Khelo India Para Games (KIPG) are an annual sports event under the Khelo India initiative for disabled athletes. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Contents

The inaugural KIPG was scheduled to happen in 2018, but did not take place, with Khelo India instead backing a separate competition called the Indian Open Para-Athletics Championship, which was held in Bengaluru. [5] Later, it was announced that the inaugural KIPG would take place in December 2023. [2]

One purpose of KIPG is to help disabled athletes receive recognition under the TOPS scheme. [6]
