The objective of the sports meet was to encourage physically and visually challenged students to participate in extracurricular activities. Students from classes 1 to 7 from both government and aided schools participated in the competitions. According to the organisers, the students were selected at the school level by teachers before sending them for the taluk-level competition. Select students from the taluk-level competition will participate in the district-level sports meet.

Events such as 50-metre running race and shot put were organised for both boys and girls. Visually challenged students participated in events such as ‘hit the mud pot’.
