For young athletes in Jammu, the District Khel Mahotsav is more than a three-day competition. The best performers can move on to the PEFI J&K State Championship 2026–27, giving school and college students a local route into a wider competitive circuit.
The Physical Education Foundation of India’s J&K State Chapter is organising the district-level championship with JP World School from August 10 to 12. The programme covers seven disciplines: cricket, basketball, volleyball, tug of war, athletics, badminton and yogasana. That range makes the meet relevant to teams as well as individual competitors.
Who can take part
The official announcement invites students from schools and colleges. It also says participants must meet the age and eligibility rules prescribed by the relevant National Sports Federation, the School Games Federation of India or PEFI. Students and institutions should therefore confirm the applicable age group and documents before submitting an entry.
The meet will be held at JP World School in Jammu. The organisers have described it as a selection event for the PEFI J&K State Championship, so entrants should treat it as a competitive trial rather than an informal sports day.
How to prepare
Schools, colleges and individual participants should contact the organiser before travelling. The public notice does not list a registration fee, reporting time or discipline-wise schedule. Confirm those details directly, along with team size, kit requirements, identity proof, age certificates and whether an institution must forward the entry.
For registration and information, the announcement names Gulshan Rattan and lists the phone number 88999 36374. Queries can also be sent to pefindia.games@gmail.com.
With seven sports compressed into three days, early confirmation matters—especially for teams that need to coordinate players and transport. The practical first step is to ask for the discipline schedule and eligibility checklist, then complete the entry only after the organiser confirms the requirements.
