To be a sportsperson in our country is not the easiest. There aren’t enough facilities and most of our sportspeople are now roadside vendors. Now imagine being a para athlete in a country that isn’t for the specially abled. If that isn’t bad enough, read this beauty. 
Here is a checklist that you will need to meet to be a paarathlete in india. A)there is a registration fee that you need to pay to participate in the qualifiers. The national dept stipulates it at ₹1000, the karnataka state demands ₹3000.
B) to add insult to injury, the Athletes have to pay a penalty of ₹10,000 to the national para athletics, if they fail to meet the minimum qualifying standards. Every event has a set standard that a sports person has to meet. But it is unheard of to penalise them if they don’t!
