NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his concern over the “fading away” of traditional sports in the country such as ‘khokhho’, ‘pitthu’, ‘lattu’ and ‘gulli-danda’ during his monthly ‘Mann ki Baat’ radio broadcast.
“It is crucial that today schools, neighbourhoods and youth congregations come forward and promote these games. Through crowd sourcing we can create a very large archive of our traditional games,” Modi said.
He suggested animation films and videos explaining simply how to play the games according to its rules, would go a long way in promoting them.
