The Rajasthan Youth Board, under the Youth Affairs & Sports Department of the Government of Rajasthan, has officially announced the launch of the Rajasthan State Esports Championship (RSEC) 2025. In collaboration with AA Gaming, this initiative aims to bring together thousands of esports players from across Rajasthan.
RSEC 2025 will feature popular titles like Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), CS2, E-Cricket, and E-Football. The tournament will span four competitive stages:
- Open Qualifiers
- Inter-College Knockout Rounds
- Semifinals
- Grand Finals
One of the features of RSEC 2025 is a series of esports workshops that will take place during the inter-college knockout rounds. These workshops, organized by AA Gaming and conducted with industry experts, will focus on educating participants on various aspects of the esports ecosystem. Topics will include:
- Gaming techniques and strategic play
- Game development fundamentals
- Esports career pathways
- Mental health and well-being for athletes
- Team-building and communication
- Professional conduct in esports
- In-depth game analysis and review
These sessions aim to empower students with industry-ready knowledge and prepare them for a wide range of careers in esports — from professional gameplay to game development, casting, management, and more.
Dr. Neeraj Kumar Pawan (I.A.S), Chairman of the Rajasthan Youth Board and Secretary, Youth Affairs & Sports Department, Government of Rajasthan, said, “I extend my heartfelt best wishes for the upcoming Rajasthan State Esports Championship. As Rajasthan does not yet have an official esports federation, the Youth Affairs & Sports Department of Rajasthan has taken the initiative to support the esports ecosystem by joining hands with passionate youth, many of whom have come forward through the Youth Board. This championship marks a significant first step in promoting esports across the state, and I wholeheartedly commend the young leaders driving this movement.”
Akash Dhangar, Founder and CEO, AA Gaming said, “We are thrilled to partner with the Rajasthan Youth Board for the Rajasthan State Esports Championship — a one-of-a-kind initiative that not only empowers the youth through competitive esports, but also equips them with the knowledge and skills to thrive in this fast-growing industry. Through our comprehensive workshops, we aim to provide in-depth education on the key pillars of the esports ecosystem, enabling Rajasthan’s youth to emerge as innovators and leaders in the gaming and esports space.”
Recognized by global sporting bodies such as the Olympic Esports Series, the Asian Games, and the Commonwealth Esports Championship, esports is now considered a legitimate sporting and medal event. With RSEC 2025, Rajasthan takes a significant step in integrating esports into the mainstream and fostering a generation of skilled, informed, and inspired esports professionals.
RSEC 2025 is expected to connect with over 200 colleges across 41 districts, making it one of India’s most comprehensive state-level esports initiatives.
