The Indian National Open Athletics Championships (Hindi: ओपन नेशनल एथलेटिक चैम्पियनशिप) is an annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Athletics Federation of India, which serves as the national championship for the sport in India. First held in 1961, it is one of four major national events in track and field, alongside the annual Indian Inter State Senior Athletics Championships and Federation Cup Senior Athletics Championships, as well as the biennial National Games of India.[1]
The 1994 edition featured foreign athletes who were invited as part of celebrations of the opening of the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai.[1] The venue for the championships changes each year, and it is typically held over four days in the period from August to October.[2][3]
