மெயின்ஸ்
GS Paper 2 (welfare of persons with disabilities) and sports policy: para-athletes still face gaps in infrastructure, funding and coaching access. The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016, Khelo India para-sport initiatives and state-level support such as Karnataka's athlete incentives are the policy levers. The way forward is accessible sports facilities, grassroots talent identification and assured job and cash support for para-athletes.
