NGAI Certifies Gatka Officials to Raise Standards

The National Gatka Association of India (NGAI) recently held a course to train and certify officials for the traditional martial sport of Gatka.

This certification will help ensure that only well-trained referees and judges oversee national competitions.

The NGAI President, Advocate Harjeet Singh Grewal, emphasized the importance of this step to maintain fairness and discipline in Gatka tournaments.

The next training course will be held in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, in January.

Additionally, an updated rulebook for Gatka will soon be published, reflecting recent reforms and insights from competitions.

Participants from various states praised the course for enhancing their understanding of officiating protocols and competition management.

The NGAI aims to continue these programs across the country to widen the pool of trained officials and elevate Gatka to international standards.
