  • Mr. Nash, a Sports Expert visited India in 1949 after independence and commented “ I studied various aspects of the Indian civilization which impressed me a lot, especially when I consider the sports field, I came to the conclusion that Kho-Kho a traditional sport of India also very nearer to every living thing should be a National Game of India.”

  • Legendary cricketer, Mr. Vijay Merchant attended the “Bhai Nerurkar Memorial All India Gold Cup” as a chief guest for the final match with for half an hour but extended his stay to witness a prolonged match after which he replied “I played cricket in my life and supposedly played the Gentleman’s game, but today after the thrills and skills of Kho-Kho our Indian Game, I realized that…”

  • Sunil Gavaskar while witnessing a game of Kho-Kho was thoroughly impressed with the agility of the players, especially their dives. He remarked “Amongst the cricketers only Eknath Solkar would be able to carry out such feats of diving and no one else has this agility and speed to compete the Kho-Kho players.”

  • Honourable Shri Sharad Pawar, one of our most important patron during his speech said that”I have been the president of many different sports associations; I was the president of Indian Cricket Board and am also the President of Mumbai Cricket Association. I would like to admit that the satisfaction derived after watching Kabaddi or Kho-Kho is far greater than watching the game of cricket.”

  • During one of his speeches Shri. Sharad Pawar commented that ”It gives me great pleasure to know that NMS and its players have been consistently performing well and are always striving to do better. The task which was taken up by Late. Shri Shankarrao Patankar has been ably shouldered by Shri Shrirang Inamdar and all the members and players of NMS.”

Welcome to
nav maharashta sangh

Kho Kho, the age old thrilling game of chase has its roots in Indian mythology. However, in 1914, Deccan Gymkhana, Pune (a local sports club) changed the entire format to the present era. Incidentally, this year marks the centenary of contemporary Kho Kho. Later on, in 1935, Akhil Maharashtra Shareerik Shikshan Mandal, designed and implemented more specific and precise rules and regulations for the game.

However, despite these rules, Kho Kho was being played with slight variances in the rules, in the cities of Pune, Mumbai, Kolhapur, Nagpur, Satara, Nashik, Baroda and a few other. In order to introduce uniformity in the game, in 1943, Brihan Maharashtra Shareerik Shikshan Mandal,Delhi, brought all the playing cities and authorities across the country, together, under a common set of rules.
