Indian para athletes have achieved remarkable success on the world stage in recent years, inspiring millions. Yet for many young people with disabilities, simply finding a place to start playing remains a challenge.
The barriers are real
Inaccessible venues, a shortage of coaches trained in adaptive sport, the cost of specialised equipment and a lack of local competitions all hold talented athletes back. Families may also be unaware that their child can take part in sport at all.
What we are doing
- Awareness: showing families, schools and communities that sport is for every ability.
- Access: connecting para athletes with coaches and training opportunities.
- Competition: including para categories in our events — starting with para taekwondo at the National Taekwondo Championship 2026.
