This is a move of great significance as there is no holding back for a disabled sportsperson now. Investing in the stadiums emphasises the importance of the differently-abled in this nation. This step will instill in them a zeal for progress and give them hope of prospective freedom. Moreover, it is a potential for reaping exponential talent from society.

There has always been negligence towards the differently-abled, and their aspirations are often compromised in all aspects and fileds. This move will empower them in many ways. The sense of independence that is manifest in every human being will be promoted, along with the physical assistance that these stadiums will provide.

This move signifies that the differently-abled are not inferior to other athletes. They are equally worthy of opportunities and infrastructure which they are often denied of. Also, it promotes courage and talent. It shall help the society realise that disability is just a matter of perception and true talent is what matters.

The setting up of these stadiums will definitely step-up our nation’s differently-abled. It will serve to encourage desire and confidence in them to play without the fear of being rejected or alienated. More importantly, it will encourage them to pursue their aspirations, despite their tribulations, which is the need of the hour.
