National Sports Day 2024, Date, Significance and History

Every year on August 29, India celebrates National Sports Day, a special occasion dedicated to honouring the spirit of sports in the country. This day goes beyond celebrating India’s athletic achievements; it emphasizes the crucial role of sports in maintaining health, fostering community, and inspiring generations. At the heart of this celebration is the legacy of India’s legendary hockey player, Major Dhyan Chand, whose extraordinary skills and contributions to the sport have left an indelible mark on the nation’s sporting history. While the theme for 2024 has not been announced at the time of writing, the previous year’s theme was “Sports are an enabler to an inclusive and fit society.”
