Ever imagined a school sports meet being conducted on the lines of the Olympics? The annual mega sporting event being organised by Kerala's Department of General Education is underway in Ernakulam district with 24,000 young athletes competing in 39 sports events at 17 venues. What makes the Kerala School Sports Meet even more special is the category called Inclusive Sports aimed at bringing special needs students into the mainstream.

Out of these meets emerged 24,000 winners who are now competing in the Kerala School Sports Meet at Ernakulam," says the official.
