The Ministry had suspended the Paralympic Committee of India following mismanagement at the National Paralympic Games in Ghaziabad, where the athletes were treated shoddily.
Apart from the selection matters, SAI will also take care of coaching camps and submission of entries of para-athletes in international tournaments.
“In order to protect the interest of para-athletes in the country, the Ministry has already requested International Paralympic Committee (IPC) to take certain steps including permitting SAI to send entries of para-athletes of the country to international competitions,” a ministry release said.
