The ceremony, held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, wasn't just about the reveal—it was about celebration and recognition. Paralympic champions Dharambir and Preeti Pal, who left their mark at the 2024 Paris Paralympics, were officially named as India's flag bearers for the tournament. Dharambir bagged gold in the Club Throw F51 event, while Preeti took home two bronze medals in the T35 100m and 200m sprints. Their achievements stood as powerful reminders of determination and national pride.
Taking the podium, Kangana Ranaut shared heartfelt words that resonated across the crowd. “It is our good fortune that such an event is taking place in India,” she said, highlighting not just the significance of the championship, but also the journey of India's para-athletes. “Their lives have not been easy—it’s filled with struggle and hard work. Like our Prime Minister says, we must honor those who have been left behind or disadvantaged. They are our heroes.”
Kangana also lauded the recent passage of the National Sports Governance Bill 2025, calling it a "revolutionary" move for the development of sports in the country. As India prepares to host athletes from around the world between September 27 and October 5, the focus isn’t just on competition—it’s on inspiring the next generation, creating accessible infrastructure, and recognizing athletes across all spectrums.
With the energy of the event, the presence of champions, and Kangana’s powerful advocacy, the jersey launch set the tone for what promises to be a landmark championship. For India, it's more than just hosting—it's about owning the global stage with pride, compassion, and the undying spirit of its athletes.
