A 301-member organising committee has been monitoring the festival arrangements. There are 20 subcommittees too.
However, the competitions will be held at University Stadium in the capital city as a 400-m track is imperative for the event. The competitions will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday and conclude at 3 p.m. on Sunday.
Government Technical High School, Mancha, Nedumangad, is hosting the sports meet after a gap of two decades.
