Which State UT emerged as the overall winner of the Khelo India Beach Games 2026?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. KarnatakaB. Karnataka
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Karnataka.
According to the source, Karnataka was crowned the overall winner of the Khelo India Beach Games 2026 in January 2026.
The 2026 competition was the second edition of India's national multi-sport beach competition.
It was held from January 5 to 10 at Ghoghla Beach in Diu.
Diu forms part of the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, abbreviated in the source as DNHDD.
The Khelo India Beach Games 2026 were organised by the DNHDD Government with technical oversight from the Sports Authority of India and various national sports federations.
This organisational structure is useful for examinations: organiser → DNHDD Government; technical oversight → SAI and national sports federations.
The source also provides a historical comparison with the inaugural edition.
The first Khelo India Beach Games were held in May 2025, also at Ghoghla Beach.
Therefore, Ghoghla Beach hosted both the inaugural 2025 edition and the second 2026 edition according to the source.
Karnataka's overall victory is associated with strong swimming performances, reflected in the headline describing the State as dominating the Games with swimming triumphs.
Students should carefully distinguish Khelo India Beach Games from Khelo India Winter Games, another item in the same chapter.
Beach Games → Ghoghla Beach, Diu; Winter Games → NDS Stadium, Leh in the source section.
The KIBG 2026 dates are January 5-10, whereas the inaugural edition was held in May 2025.
Quick revision: KIBG 2026 → second edition → Karnataka overall winner → January 5-10 → Ghoghla Beach → Diu → DNHDD → organised by UT Government → technical oversight by SAI + national sports federations → inaugural KIBG May 2025 at same beach.
Therefore option B, Karnataka, is correct.
सही उत्तर Karnataka है। Source के अनुसार January 2026 में Karnataka को Khelo India Beach Games 2026 का overall winner crown किया गया। 2026 competition India की national multi-sport beach competition का second edition था। Event January 5 से 10 तक Ghoghla Beach, Diu में आयोजित हुआ। Diu Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu का हिस्सा है, जिसे source DNHDD abbreviation से भी refer करता है। Khelo India Beach Games 2026 को DNHDD Government ने organise किया और technical oversight Sports Authority of India यानी SAI तथा various national sports federations द्वारा provide किया गया। Exam के लिए organiser और technical oversight अलग-अलग याद रखें: Organiser → DNHDD Government; Technical oversight → SAI + national sports federations। Source inaugural edition की information भी देता है। First Khelo India Beach Games May 2025 में आयोजित हुए थे और venue तब भी Ghoghla Beach था। इसलिए source के अनुसार Ghoghla Beach ने inaugural 2025 और second 2026 दोनों editions host किए। Karnataka की overall victory को swimming triumphs से associate किया गया है। Khelo India Beach Games को उसी chapter के Khelo India Winter Games से confuse नहीं करें। Beach Games → Ghoghla Beach, Diu; Winter Games → NDS Stadium, Leh। KIBG 2026 dates → January 5-10; inaugural edition → May 2025। Quick revision chain: KIBG 2026 → second edition → Karnataka overall winner → Ghoghla Beach → Diu → DNHDD → January 5-10 → DNHDD Government organiser → SAI technical oversight → inaugural edition May 2025 same venue। इसलिए option B सही है।
