The KDTTA expressed satisfaction over the overwhelming response to the championship, noting that the participation of a large number of young players, enthusiastic audiences, and the support from parents, guardians, and school authorities had significantly revived interest in the sport—particularly after nearly two decades of relative dormancy in table tennis in Nagaland.
The association extended its gratitude to all participating schools and stakeholders for their support and contribution towards promoting table tennis among school children.
