The Great Hornbill, or the Great Indian Hornbill, the State bird of Kerala, is the official Mascot of the 35th
National Games. The selection of the Great Hornbill as the Games Mascot
reflects our concern for conservation; this is a species facing
extinction. It is also an expression of the need to preserve Kerala's
rain forests and regenerate the lost habitat of this precious bird.
The Kerala Chief Minister Shri Oommen Chandy named our Mascot ‘Ammu’ on 21st June, 2013, during the International Olympic Day celebrations at Thiruvananthapuram. The choice of a feminine name for the Mascot is a tribute to the women of Kerala and is a reminder that Kerala is proud to have a gender ratio which is tilted in favour of women - the only State in India that can claim that honour.
