A record 731 students from 101 schools will compete in the 31st State Level Inter School Karate Tournament 2025, marking a sharp rise in participation and highlighting growing interest in the sport across Meghalaya.
The three-day championship, organised by the All Meghalaya Karate-Do Association, is scheduled to take place from July 24 to 26 at the Multipurpose Indoor Hall, SAI, NEHU campus in Shillong.
This year’s registration surpasses last year’s figure of 609 participants, setting a new high for the long-running event.
The tournament continues to receive support from the Directorate of Sports and Youth Affairs, Government of Meghalaya.
