 INTRODUCTION
SPORT IS ABLE TO PROVIDE IMMEDIATE AND LONG-TERM RELIEF TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WHO
ARE OFTEN PLAGUED WITH HEALTH ISSUES, POOR SOCIAL SKILLS AND LACK OF SELF-ESTEEM.

SPORT PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS SUCH AS STRONGER MUSCLES,
ENHANCED CARDIOVASCULAR AEROBIC LEVELS AND IMPROVED MOTOR SKILLS.

SPORT ALSO CREATES AN ENVIRONMENT THAT ALLOWS THE DISABLED TO DEVELOP CRUCIAL LIFE
SKILLS. PARTICIPATION IN SPORT TEACHES ABOUT TEAMWORK, COOPERATION, WORKING TOWARDS
OBJECTIVES AND HANDLING DEFEATS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS.

ON THE EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVELS, SPORT HELPS IN DEVELOPING STRONGER

SELF-ESTEEM AND PERSONAL SENSE OF WORTH, AND ALLEVIATES DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY.

ESSENTIALLY, SPORT CAN ENHANCE THE LIVES OF THE DISABLED AND HELP THEM LEAD A MORE
FULFILLING AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE.

THERE ARE NUMEROUS CHALLENGES THAT PREVENT THE DISABLED FROM PARTICIPATING
IN SPORTING ACTIVITIES. WHILE PEOPLE AND ORGANISATIONS AROUND THE WORLD ARE
CONTINUOUSLY TRYING TO REMOVE BARRIERS OF PARTICIPATION FOR THEM, THE ENORMOUS
BENFITS THAT SPORT PROVIDES TO THE DISABLED ARE NOT PUBLICISED ENOUGH.

VARIOUS COMPETITIONS ARE CARRIED OUT FREQUENTLY AT NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL

LEVELS. NATIONAL LEVEL INCLUDES STATE WISE AND INTERSTATE COMPETITIONS CARRIED OUT
EVERY YEAR AND AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL, THERE ARE EVENTS LIKE PARALYMPIC GAMES
ORGANISED BY THE INTERNATIONAL PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE.
 AIM
TO DESIGN A SPACE THAT CAN REHABILITATE AND EMPOWER THOSE PHYSICALLY
CHALLENGED ATHLETES BY PROVIDING THE BEST FACILITIES AND AMENITIES FOR
PARALYMPIC TRAINING.
OBJECTIVE
TO STUDY ABOUT THE DIFFERENT SPORTS THAT COME UNDER PARALYMPICS.

TO STUDY ABOUT FACILITIES THAT HAS TO BE PROVIDED FOR THEIR REHABILITATION,

STRENGTHENING, TRAINING AND RECREATION.

TO STUDY CHARACTERISTICS OF SPACE THAT HAS TO BE PROVIDED AND METHODS BY

WHICH UNIVERSAL ACCESS IS ASSURED IN VARIOUS STAGES.

TO STUDY ABOUT OLYMPICS AND OTHER NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EVENTS.

NEED
PARA ATHLETES HAVE WON 12 MEDALS IN THE PARALYMPIC GAMES FOR INDIA,
EVENTHOUGH THERE IS NO SPECIALIZED TRAINING CENTRES FOR THEM.

A SPACE NEEDS TO BE CREATED FOR SUCH PARALYMPIANS WHICH EXCLUSIVELY

FOCUSES ON SPORTS AND PROVIDES ADEQUATE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL TRAINING.

SPORTS ACTIVITIES ALWAYS HELP IN STRENGTHENING, SO SUCH TRAINING CENTRES

PROVIDE UPLIFTMENT AS WELL.

 CONCERN
THE DIFFERENTLY ABLED PEOPLE OF SOCIETY NEED UPLIFTMENT RATHER THAN EMPATHY.

NOWADAYS, CHARITY WORKS FOR EMPATHY OF OTHERS AND THAT DEVELOPS A NEGATIVE
EMOTIONAL IMPACT IN SUCH INDIVIDUALS.

SO BASIC THOUGHT IS EMPOWERMENT AND MAKING THESE INDIVIDUALS UPLIFTED AND

INDEPENDENT, TO FACE THE CHALLENGES OF THE SOCIETY.

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

A COMPLETE EXCELLENCE CENTRE OF THIS SCALE AND FACILITIES HAVE NOT BEEN DESIGNED
IN INDIA YET.

THEREFORE, CASE STUDIES ARE NOT AVAILABLE DIRECTLY, SO IT HAS TO BE DONE IN PARTS.

IT IS A DESIGN CHALLENGE TO INCORPORATE THE REQUIREMENTS OF VARIOUS CATEGORIES

OF DIFFERENTLY ABLED PEOPLE IN A SINGLE AREA WHICH IS GOING TO BE SUPPORTING THE
PARALYMPIANS.

FEASIBILITY
ACCORDING TO 2011 CENSUS, 2.1% OF TOTAL INDIA’S POPULATION IS DIFFERENTLY ABLED.
OUT OF IT, 1.6% COMES UNDER PARALYMPIC CATEGORY.
