Which of the following statements about India's National and Institutional Sports Competitions is/are correct? 1) National Games began in 1924 at Lahore and were renamed from the IX Games in Bombay. 2) SGFI holds nationals only for boys under 17 in contact sports like Wrestling and Kabaddi. 3) Inter-University tournaments use knockout or league formats and allow one team per university.
Only 1 and 3 are Correct
Statement 1 is correct: the National Games of India trace their origin to 1924 at Lahore, and the editions held earlier as the IX Games were brought under the National Games name (the Bombay edition being a landmark in this re-designation).
Statement 3 is correct: inter-university tournaments are run on knockout or league formats and, as a rule, each university is permitted to field only one team in a given event so that representation stays institution-based.
Statement 2 is incorrect: the School Games Federation of India (SGFI) conducts national school competitions across many sports for both boys and girls and in several age categories (such as under-14, under-17 and under-19) — it is not restricted to boys under 17 in contact sports alone. Because this statement is wrong, only 1 and 3 hold.
Hence, the answer is that only statements 1 and 3 are correct.
