The Khelo India Para Games (KIPG) are an annual sports event under the Khelo India initiative for disabled athletes.[1][2][3][4]
The inaugural KIPG was scheduled to happen in 2018, but did not take place, with Khelo India instead backing a separate competition called the Indian Open Para-Athletics Championship, which was held in Bengaluru.[5] Later, it was announced that the inaugural KIPG would take place in December 2023.[2]
One purpose of KIPG is to help disabled athletes receive recognition under the TOPS scheme.[6]
