What was the name of the official torch for the Khelo India University Games 2022?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Correct Answer is  option 2  i.e. Shakti.

The official torch of the Khelo India University Games 2022, hosted in Uttar Pradesh, was named “Shakti”, symbolizing power, strength, and energy—qualities that reflect the spirit of youth and sports. The torch was unveiled during the official launch of the event, along with the mascot, anthem, and logo. “Shakti” represents not only the physical strength of athletes but also the inner drive and determination required to excel in competitive sports. The name aligns with India’s cultural identity, where “Shakti” is revered as the embodiment of dynamic energy, especially fitting for a youth-focused sporting event.

Other options :

  • Samarth: Means “capable” or “able,” but it was not the name of the official torch.

  • Ujala: Means “light” or “brightness,” often used in other campaigns, not for the torch.

  • Mitra: Means “friend” in Sanskrit; could be a mascot name, but not used for the torch.
