How the exam will ask it

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್

  • The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 replaced the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995 and expanded recognised disabilities to 21.
  • Under the Constitution, 'Sports' is not in the Union List; the Centre promotes it through schemes and bodies like the Sports Authority of India.
  • The Asian Para Games are organised for Asian athletes with disabilities and are distinct from the Paralympic Games.

ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS-II/GS-I: Inclusion of persons with disabilities in sport. Issue: para-athletes historically faced low funding, access and visibility gaps -> the RPwD Act 2016, Khelo India para-sports support and targeted cash awards address this -> better medals and social attitudes follow. Way forward: accessible infrastructure, grassroots talent scouting, equal prize money and private sponsorship.
