Parasport, Medicine and Policy
from All Things Policy · host Takshashila Institution
In this episode of All Things Policy, Malathi Renati speaks with Dr. (Maj) Ameya Kagali, Chief Team Physician for the Indian Paralympic contingent, about what it really takes to support para-athletes — on the field, in medical systems, and through policy design. From classification to women para-athletes’ health needs, career pathways, and the future of India’s para-sport ecosystem, this conversation asks a simple but urgent question: is India treating para-sport as a welfare add-on or as a serious national priority? At a time when India’s sports policy and governance reforms are evolving, this episode is a reminder that access and performance depend on systems — not just individual talent. Listen to the episode and join the conversation on what it will take to build a truly inclusive and high-performance para-sport ecosystem in India.Are you passionate about shaping India's future?
