History
Initially this tournament was named as North East Olympic Games after the governing body, North East Olympic Association, but in 2024, the Indian Olympic Association directed the North East Olympic Committee to remove the "Olympic" tag from its name as that was a registered trademark under the Olympic Charter.[13]
In May 2025, it was announced that Khelo India will develop an annual North-East Games competition under its brand.[14]
