Sepak Takraw, a traditional Southeast Asian sport, involves players using their feet, head, knees, and chest to hit a specially crafted rattan ball (Sepak). The game is often described as a fusion of football and volleyball, demanding exceptional flexibility, balance, and skill. It is immensely popular in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Myanmar. By hosting this global event, Bihar is set to establish a strong presence in the international sports arena.

As a mark of appreciation, International Sepak Takraw Federation (ISTAF) Secretary-General Datuk Abdul Halim Kadir presented a commemorative token to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The CM, in turn, honored Bihar’s Sepak Takraw player Bobby Kumar with a symbolic memento.
