akharas and vyamshalas in Maharashtra.
Hanuman Vyayam Mandal Baroda gave this gam
a modern form. Akhil Maharashtra Sharirik
Shikshan Mandal was formed in 1928.This
organisation provided a lot of information
provided a lot of help in the development of this
game. The Deccan Gymkhana arranged a
conference in Poona in which the rules of this
game were formed. In 1960, Kho-Kho federation
of India was formed. In this year, the first
national Championship for mens was organised.
