emotional and deeply meaningful initiative for all of us at RNTBCI. The
wheelchairs represent hope and a second chance for the young men who have
sacrificed so much for our country. We believe that this mobility will restore
their independence and instil pride in continuing to serve the nation.”
Sharing his
remarks at the ceremony, Shri. G.P. Singh, Director General – CRPF, noted,
“Standing in support of persons with disabilities is yet another milestone in
our journey. The National Centre for Divyang Empowerment has been equipping our

to independence and achievement. Today, with the generous support of Renault
Nissan and India Cares Foundation, we are proud to add a special bus and
wheelchairs to our resources. These contributions strengthen our mission of
advancing parasports and ensuring that every divyang friend has the opportunity
to thrive with dignity and pride.”

for personnel, reinforcing long-term accessibility and rehabilitation capacity
within the Centre. As Divyangs are already pursuing different
games and sporting fields and have received 67 Medals in para sports, namely
