Dehradun – The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has officially approved the dates for the 38th National Games, which will be held in Uttarakhand from January 28 to February 14, 2025. A letter confirming this decision was sent to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who had previously requested the finalization of the event dates during a meeting with IOA President Dr. P.T.
