Answer 1

Answer:

A. 19 July 2024

Launched in March 2024 with Phase 1, it focuses on identifying athletes from grassroots levels and combating issues like drug addiction and excessive screen time among children aged 9 to 18. Phase 2 inaugurated by Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister for Youth Affairs & Sports, on 19 July 2024 in New Delhi. Dr Mandaviya will lay emphasis on the project that aims to achieve 20 Lakh assessment in the FY 2024-25 by onboarding all states and treating the district as a unit of assessment. This is also in line with Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision to take sports to every child in the country through mass participation and ultimately achieve excellence through Khelo India’s structured pyramidal programmes.
