The Games started on May 25 and were held across nine scenes in Lucknow, Varanasi, Gorakhpur and Gautambuddh Nagar. ” Notwithstanding the intensity, the manner in which the players took part in this occasion with full status and won decorations, I praise and hope everything works out for them. I generously salute the people who have shown astounding sportsmanship here,” the main clergyman said on the event, as per the assertion.
A short film that summed up the third edition of the Games was also shown during the closing ceremony.

The rate of participation and medals won by Indian players have increased over the past nine years, whether at the Sansad Khel Pratispardha or the Khelo India University Games or any other national or international competition. Everyone should be encouraged by the work done on sports infrastructure during this time,” he stated. The chief minister was referring to the Modi administration’s nine years.
