The inaugural and first edition of the National Youth Games will be held in Bangalore from May 10 to 18.

The first ever Youth Games for the under-18 youth will be participated by over 6000 athletes in as many as 24 disciplines.

 
The event would also be seen as a selection event for the Commonwealth Youth Games to be held in Pune in October. The schedule for the event is likely to be rescheduled in case it coincides with the elections in the state, informed an Indian Olympic Association official.
