Games events will be part of the Kerala State Central Schools Sports Meet from next year, announced Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan while inaugurating the maiden edition of the event at the Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium here on
Tuesday.
The event, organised by the Kerala State Sports Council, is a proud achievement for the State,  Pinarayi added.
The two-day event brings together budding talents from over 1,500 schools, including CBSE, Kendriya Vidyalaya, ICSE and Jawahar Navodaya schools.
