About the National Games 

The National Games are organised by the Indian Olympic Association and hosted by the state government. Their main aim is to identify talents in the country who can represent India at the Summer Olympics.

The National Games are held on the Olympic model and were initially supposed to be held every two years. Until the 24th National Games, they were held every two years, but since then, they have been held irregularly.

The first National Games, held in 1924 at Lahore (now in Pakistan), was called the All-India Olympic Games. The name was changed to National Games at the 9th edition in Bombay(now Mumbai) in 1940.
