Multiple reports describe a local push in Nagpur to bring back traditional childhood games as an alternative to prolonged screen use. Community groups and neighbourhood initiatives are organizing and encouraging children and young people to play familiar games such as pittu, kho-kho, sankhali, hopscotch and hide and seek. The articles note that these activities are increasingly visible across the city, with children gathering to play outdoors rather than spending time on digital screens.
The reports frame the trend as a revival of community-led play and a return to games that are widely recognized in Indian childhood culture. While the coverage emphasizes the kinds of games being played and the groups promoting them, it does not provide detailed statistics about participation levels or specific programmes. Overall, the accounts present the same core message: organized community efforts are helping reintroduce traditional games in everyday neighbourhood settings, offering children structured, social and physical ways to spend their time.
