New Delhi, January 25, 2021 :
Aditya Mehta Foundation – a non-profit organization aiding those with disabilities to pursue sports while providing self-sustenance; hosted a parasports screening camp to unearth budding talent for specially-abled students from Kamareddy district, today at AMF’s Infinity Parasports Academy and Rehab Centre, Rasoolpura.
In all 21 students, 12 boys and 9 girls in the age group of 6 to 20 years took part in the Camp and were screened for Archery, taekwondo, volleyball, power lifting, athletics, shooting, table tennis, rowing, shotput, javelin etc. Most of the kids were extremely talented in various sports, in fact two of the hearing-impaired students hit bullseye in every shot in shooting. About 60% of the students did very well and the rest being a little weak, require rehabilitation. The selected students will be provided with equipment to train and groom in the sport they show promise along with schooling, boarding and lodging by AMF. The duration of training varies depending on the level of disability and talent of students. Ms N Swetha Reddy IPS, SP, Kamareddy district and Kamareddy district collector Shri A Sharath and all teachers, were instrumental in getting this camp to take-off.
The motto of Infinity Ride was to unearth talent across India and nurture the best to represent India in parasports at the global stage. We want to create a splash at the Paralympics 2024 and Asian games 2022 and make the nation proud, says Aditya Mehta
In the past AMF’s family has won more than 90 medals nationally and internationally. AMF conducts its signature ride – the Infinity ride, annually to spread the awareness of sports, especially para-sports.
