Over the summer, our programme director for the Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation programme, Karthikeyan Muthumayandi, was involved in creating a new non-government charity organisation called “Inclusivity and Participation \u2013 India\u201d <\/p>\n
With support from two other educational institutions, Nandha Collage of Physiotherapy and ITS Physiotherapy College, \u2018Inclusivity and Participation\u2019 was created to get more people involved in sport. The main aim is to support people with disabilities to participate in sporting activity whilst fund fundraising, creating awareness and supporting events throughout the year. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The organisation will be conducting exploratory\u00a0research\u00a0on\u00a0inclusivity and sports participation of differently abled individuals\u00a0in rural India and evaluate the impact\u00a0on their physical, mental and social well-being. This organisation will act as a platform for sharing knowledge and experience of the differently abled athletes, professionals and partner institutions.<\/span>\u00a0The\u00a0organisation will be directly working with district and state authorities with their\u00a0recommendations for positive changes.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Nandha College of Physiotherapy, Erode, Tamil Nadu, India.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Erode Arima Trust, Erode, Tamil Nadu, India.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>ITS physiotherapy college, Muradnagar, New Delhi, India.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Vir Bhavya Society for Special Needs, Ghaziabad, India.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the summer, our programme director for the Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation programme, Karthikeyan Muthumayandi, was involved in creating a new non-government charity organisation called … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49948,"featured_media":358,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/unikentsportsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/unikentsportsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/unikentsportsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/unikentsportsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/49948"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/unikentsportsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/unikentsportsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":361,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/unikentsportsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357\/revisions\/361"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/unikentsportsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/unikentsportsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/unikentsportsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/unikentsportsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
