Second National Abilympics - February 14 - 16, 2007

NAAI was formed  at the behest of Govt. of India  and under the aegis of Amar Jyoti Charitable Trust in May 2001 to serve as a nodal agency to formulate, initiate and implement  policies to propogate Abilympics in the country. The registered office is located at  Amar  Jyoti  Charitable Trust, Karkar Dooma, Vikas Marg, Delhi – 110092 and is guided by a Governing Body.  This was followed  by  identifying  and  appointing Zonal Vice Presidents from renowned NGOs in five regions of the country viz. East  at Kolkata; West at Ahmedabad; South at Chennai and North as well as  Central   at Delhi.  Later a zonal vice president was appointed at Bhopal to promote abilympics in the central zone.  All the zonal vice presidents are associated with local NGOs with requisite infrastructure in the disability sector.  The VPs organize District level abilympics in their zone with the help of NGOs, district administrations and other agencies.  Some of the zones organized pre-regional before organizing Regional Abilympics with the objective was to get the maximum number of participants from all over the country.
