A two day long 4th Inter-Department Badminton Tournament 2024 (Kohima edition) under the aegis of Inter-Department Badminton Club (IDBC) Kohima concluded today at Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) Multipurpose Hall, Kohima.

“The Association (KDBA) is more than pleased to see the game being propagated and we are thankful to the Inter Department Badminton Club,” he said.
The Association is also conscious of the fact that this Club (IDBC) consists of not only some of the most passionate players of the game but also of the many great minds who can influence the growth of the game in our district and even beyond, he said.
