The Khele Sanand Athletics Meet has become a dynamic stage for local youth to showcase speed, strength, and endurance. With sprints, distance runs, and field events drawing strong participation, Season 3 reinforces its holistic vision -- promoting fitness, discipline, and spirited competition among young athletes.

Crucial Role of Village Sarpanches
