How the exam will ask it

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್

  • The Asian Para Games are organised under the authority of the Asian Paralympic Committee.
  • The Asian Games, unlike the Asian Para Games, fall under the Olympic Council of Asia.
  • The International Paralympic Committee governs the Paralympic Games at the global level, while the Asian Paralympic Committee is the continental body.

ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS Paper 1 (Sports/Society) and GS Paper 2 (inclusion). Para-sport events highlight the issue of equal opportunity for persons with disabilities; the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 and schemes supporting para-athletes frame the policy response. The way forward lies in better grassroots infrastructure, accessible facilities, funding and talent identification.
