India’s contingent spans across 17 different sporting disciplines. This diverse representation reflects the nation’s intention to excel in various sports and showcases the talent and dedication of para athletes.
In addition to the athletes, the Sports Ministry has also approved the participation of 143 coaches, escorts, officials, and support staff. Their involvement is crucial in providing guidance and support to the athletes, ensuring they have the best conditions to compete.
Out of the 303 athletes representing India, a significant portion, 123, will participate in athletics events. This strong presence in athletics demonstrates the depth of talent and potential that India possesses in this sporting discipline.
