The ASMITA Programme, organised under the flagship initiatives of the Fit India Movement and Khelo India, was held on Saturday at Cambridge School, bringing together young athletes, sports administrators, and educators to promote inclusivity and excellence in sports.

The event was graced by Parul Singh, President of the Delhi Paralympic Committee, who attended as the Chief Guest. Her presence underscored the growing emphasis on para-sports and inclusive participation in India’s sporting ecosystem.

The programme, conducted under the broader vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, focused on encouraging greater participation of women and young students in sports.

Addressing the gathering, Parul Singh reiterated that increasing sports engagement among girls and school students remains a national priority. “It is the vision of the Prime Minister that more and more women, especially young girls, actively participate in sports. This will strengthen the country’s sporting culture and help India achieve greater success at national and international levels,” she said. 

The programme was initiated by Rahul Pawar and saw participation from key figures including Rahul Pawar, General Secretary of the Handball Association of Noida, Dr. DS Atri, former Ranji cricket player and sports manager associated with the school.

The ASMITA initiative is aimed at creating a structured platform for nurturing grassroots talent while fostering an inclusive sporting environment, particularly for women and differently-abled athletes.
