The announcement, released by the Paralympic Committee of India (PCI), marks a significant step towards regional collaboration and athlete empowerment.

The formation of the SAPSF signifies a unified approach to developing and promoting para-sports across the region. This collaborative effort promises enhanced training facilities, improved competition standards, and greater opportunities for athletes.

This initiative is expected to significantly boost the participation and performance of para-athletes from South Asian nations in international competitions. The SAPSF will provide a platform for knowledge sharing and resource pooling, ultimately benefitting athletes at all levels.
