Bihar State Sports Authority Announce The 1st Bihar State Esports Open Championship

The first Bihar State Esports Open Championship was announced by the Bihar State Sports Authority. The BSSA is preparing to organize the inaugural Bihar State Esports Open Championship, a ground-breaking initiative that will showcase a fusion of technology and expertise. India's esports industry is expanding quickly, and government sports organizations have begun to take an interest in it by slowly entering the market.

 The Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs' integration of esports with traditional sports in December 2022 played a significant role in this shift toward competitive gaming. Nearly a year later, on December 5, 2023, the Bihar State Sports Authority announced the inaugural Bihar State Esports Open Championship. The event is expected to take place from December 7 to December 28.
