The Paralympic Association of Assam (PAA) is pleased to share that Mr. Rajib Dey and Mr. Geet Gunjan Deka represented Assam at the Two-Day Workshop on Para Sports organized by the Department of Sports & Youth Affairs, Government of Sikkim.
This landmark workshop holds special significance as it is regarded as the first state government-led workshop on Para Sports of its kind in India, demonstrating Sikkim’s commitment towards the promotion and development of para sports and the empowerment of persons with disabilities through sports.
The workshop brought together sports administrators, officials, coaches, and stakeholders from different regions to discuss various aspects of para sports development, athlete support systems, inclusive sporting infrastructure, talent identification, classification, and opportunities for strengthening the para sports ecosystem across the country.
The participation of Mr. Rajib Dey and Mr. Geet Gunjan Deka provided an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and gain valuable insights that will contribute to the further development of para sports in Assam.
The Paralympic Association of Assam expresses its gratitude to the Department of Sports & Youth Affairs, Government of Sikkim, for organizing this pioneering initiative and looks forward to implementing the learnings gained from the workshop for the benefit of para athletes across Assam.
Together, we continue to strengthen the movement for inclusive sports and greater opportunities for para athletes.
