Special Olympics Bharat : In a continued effort to build a more inclusive and compassionate society—where every young individual contributes towards a progressive community—Sapta Shakti Army Women’s Welfare Association (AWWA), in collaboration with Special Olympics Bharat, will host a Special Athletics Meet at Jaipur Military Station on 25–26 November 2025.
State Games Athletics 2025 is being organised for young athletes with special intellectual abilities from across Rajasthan. This maiden initiative by Special Olympics Bharat and Sapta Shakti AWWA aims to promote participation, confidence, and sportsmanship among these young athletes. A total of 232 enthusiastic participants from various districts have confirmed their participation in seven track and field events, including track races, javelin throw, and shot put.
The Athletics Meet will also serve as the selection platform for the Rajasthan state team that will compete at the National Special Athletes Meet in Delhi, part of the preparations for the Special Olympics World Summer Games 2027 (USA).
The event will be inaugurated by Ms. Diya Kumari, Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan, in the presence of Mrs. (Dr.) Mallika Nadda, President, Special Olympics India; Lt Gen Manjinder Singh, Army Commander, Sapta Shakti Command; and Mrs. Barinder Jit Kaur, Regional President AWWA, Sapta Shakti Command.
The Special Athletics Meet reiterates that sports are a powerful catalyst for nurturing an inclusive and supportive ecosystem—one in which individuals with special intellectual abilities are respected, encouraged, and empowered to realise their full potential.
