Ministry of Youth Af -dated 24.11.2021:
fairs & Sports It may be informed that currently this Ministry does not have any
specialized training facility for Divyang athletes in North East Region of
the country. Setting up of a new dedicated Centre for Disability Sports at
Shillong will help a number of athletes not just in Meghalaya but the
entire North East. As the State Government of Meghalaya is ready to give
land, the said project may be supported. The recent success in Para
Olympics has created a new enthusiasm among the Divyang sports
persons all across India and such projects will further help in spreading
the Olympic movement in rural and tribal areas especially in the North
East. This will promote empowerment of people not just from the sports
point of view but also lead to social, political and economic
empowerment of the Divyangjan. Further, the employment opportunities
and economic activities generated due to this project will help in the
development of the region. This Ministry, therefore, supports the
establishment of Centre for Disability Sports at Shillong.

Welfare support to the proposal. at the time of execution of the
project.
Suggestions from NHM-III Division, Department of Health & Family
Welfare are as follows:
i) The proposed sports complex will also include establishment of
Sports physiotherapy centre that has fitness Centre, Yoga center,
Sports Medical Centre, Physiotherapy Centre, Psychology Centre,
Nutritional Centre, and sports Science Centre. Therefore, 24x7
availability of trained Human Resources to make these Centres
functional and provide care to the sports persons may be ensured.
ii) The Nutrition Centre needs a dietician and even the kitchen of the
sports centre will need staff trained in preparation and serving of
diets. iii) The designs of such kitchens are different than the normal
kitchens and, therefore, all these details finally need to be planned
and incorporated.
iv) All the construction, floors, staircase, entrance, exit, toilets, lifts
need to be disabled friendly.

suggestions are made: facilities being

financial targets may clearly be highlighted, including the outcomes and outputs for women with
Disabilities.
(iii) Increasing participation of Women in Paralympic Games: Women’s participation in Paralympic
Games since 1972-2016 (EFC Memo Para 2.3) is very low compared to men. The Department may
consciously focus on increasing this number to at least 30-40% of the total number of participants
through awareness campaigns, mentorship program for girls with disabilities in schools, exposure
visits to the Centre, etc.
(iv)Disseminate gender-disaggregated data for the Centre: The Dept. may collect a repository of
gender-disaggregated data based on sex, age, disability, socioeconomic status of the Women with
Disabilities using the Centre facilities and report the same on the Gender Budget Statement.
(v) Ensuring the construction of gender-friendly infrastructure at the Centre: Dept. may ensure that
the infrastructure along with being disability friendly is made gender friendly. This would involve a
thorough gender analysis to gauge the challenges of Women with Disabilities and accordingly plan
for construction. Similarly, a gender analysis of sports may also be undertaken so as to attract more
women towards all sports, thereby increasing India’s chances of winning in international sporting
events as well as boosting women empowerment.
