a) INDIGENOUS GAMES AND MARTIAL ARTS (IGMA)

 Indigenous Games and Martial Arts (IGMA)

In answer to a question regarding rural, indigenous, and tribal games, the Sports Authority of India has promoted many sports disciplines throughout the nation.

Khelo India's new approach for promoting traditional sports includes "Promotion of Rural, Indigenous, and Tribal Games."

SAI promotes Indigenous Games and Martial Arts (IGMA) in nine disciplines via its National Sports Talent Contest (NSTC), which chooses bright 8- to 14-year-olds in 10 SAI-adopted Centers.

Under this programme, schools and trainees get athletic equipment, accidental insurance, a stipend, and an annual grant for equipment and talent scouting competitions. Each individual spends Rs 45,000 annually. In 2016-17, 10 SAI-adopted Centres trained 159 participants in traditional sports (78 boys, 81 girls).

Its Culture Of Sports

Due to the fact that Northeast India has more similarities with its neighbouring nations than it does with the rest of India, this region is often the target of racial prejudice, while being encircled on all sides by international boundaries

However, competitions in other sports play a vital part in the process of bringing it closer to the mainland.The eight states that make up Northeast India are still a long way from being included in the common conception of India because of their geographical and cultural isolation.When it comes to athletic competition, Northeast India, which is only connected to the rest of the nation by a chicken's neck corridor that is 27 kilometres long, manages to flip the odds in its favour.
