There are two different categories for both Boys and Girls. The Sub-Junior category consists of Under-15 and Under-13 rowers and the Challenger is an open age category for rowers who have not won medals at the Open Nationals or at the Challenger Nationals.
The rowers will battle it out on the Rabindra Sarobar lake waters for the coveted Gold, Silver, and Bronze titles during the four-day competition.
The winners of sub-juniors will take part in the Junior Nationals later this year.
Depending on their performance and potential, the rowers will be selected to join the National Junior Training Camp in Hyderabad, where RFI selects the Junior Team to represent India in the Asian Juniors and the World Juniors.
