Para Athletes Disappointed by Khelo MP Exclusion
Para athletes in Madhya Pradesh are sad because they can't join the Khelo MP Youth Games next year.
These games are like the Olympics for the state and will have 27 sports.
But there's no special part for para athletes, even though big events like the Olympics and Paralympics have them.
Some athletes and their leaders are asking why they are being left out.
The government says they might include para athletes in the future.
Para athletes in Madhya Pradesh are disappointed about being excluded from the Khelo MP Youth Games 2025-26.
The games, scheduled from January 10 to 31, 2026, will feature 27 sports but no para edition.
Athletes and leaders question why the state government is ignoring para athletes, despite international events having separate para editions.
The first edition of the games was held in October 2023, and the second edition will start at the block level on January 10, 2026.
The government has indicated that they will consider including para athletes in future editions of the games.
