From Every Corner of India to the World Stage: The Road to 2027 Finland Begins Now

What does true inclusion look like?
It looks like confidence on stage.
It sounds like applause for excellence.
It feels like belonging — and this is what the Abilympics are all about.

In 2025, India ignites a powerful journey — “Road to 2027 Finland: Empowering Skills, Enabling Inclusion” — led by the National Abilympic Association of India (NAAI) in collaboration with Sarthak Educational Trust.

Through five unforgettable events, from the southern coasts of Chennai to the northeast spirit of Guwahati, India will discover, celebrate, and uplift the extraordinary talents of Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). This is more than preparation for an international stage. It is the pulse of a movement to reimagine dignity, skill, and opportunity.

What Makes the Abilympics Different?

The Abilympics (Olympics of Abilities) are global skill competitions where PwDs showcase their vocational talents. They’re not about limitations — they’re about breaking them. The Road to 2027 is India’s campaign to send its best to Finland for the International Abilympics — and it starts now, with:

Beyond Competition: A National Celebration of Ability
