PAFI Receives PCI Affiliation for Para-Armwrestling

The People’s Armwrestling Federation of India (PAFI) has been officially recognized by the Paralympic Committee of India (PCI).

This is a big deal because it helps para-armwrestling grow in India.

PAFI and the Pro Panja League have been working hard to include para athletes in their competitions, treating them equally and giving them the same opportunities as able-bodied athletes.

This recognition is a step towards including para-armwrestling in big international events like the Paralympic Games.

Important people like Preeti Jhangiani and Devendra Jhajharia have praised this achievement, saying it shows commitment to fairness and excellence in the sport.
