MP Minister Narayan Singh Kushwah Appointed Patron of Divyang Cricket Council of India

Madhya Pradesh Minister Narayan Singh Kushwah has been appointed patron of the Divyang Cricket Council of India (DCCI), in a move aimed at giving fresh impetus to the development of cricket for players with disabilities and helping their talent gain recognition at the national level.

The appointment was approved by the council’s board of directors at a meeting held on 27 October. Kushwah is the Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities and Horticulture and Food Processing in Madhya Pradesh.

The development took place in Bhopal on 28 October and has been described as an important initiative to give players with disabilities a stronger identity on the sporting field. The move is also aimed at encouraging sports talent and creating better opportunities for players to progress.

As patron, Kushwah is expected to provide guidance and support to the council. His role will focus on strengthening efforts for the development of divyang cricket, encouraging players and helping their sporting talent receive recognition at the national level.

The initiative is expected to give players with disabilities a platform to move forward. The council will work towards making better opportunities available to them and supporting their participation in cricket.

The source material said that players with disabilities have no shortage of talent. What they need is the right platform, resources and encouragement. In this context, Kushwah’s role is considered important for helping players demonstrate their abilities and get opportunities to represent at the national level.

Kushwah has been active for a long time in work related to the welfare, dignity and empowerment of persons with disabilities. The experience and guidance he brings from this area are expected to strengthen efforts to promote divyang cricket and create new opportunities for players.

DCCI president Rajesh Bhardwaj expressed happiness over Kushwah accepting the invitation to become the council’s patron. Bhardwaj said that the minister’s dedication to the welfare of persons with disabilities is inspiring. He added that Kushwah’s guidance would become an important source of encouragement for the players.

The Divyang Cricket Council of India is a non-profit, non-political and non-sectarian organisation. It works across the country to develop divyang cricket, organise competitions and encourage players.

Kushwah’s appointment as patron is expected to provide institutional support and a new direction to divyang cricket. The next challenge will be to make the initiative effective at the grassroots level.

The aim will be to ensure that talented players get more opportunities for training, competitions and building their identity at the national level. The council’s work will focus on taking forward the development of divyang cricket and on giving players the support and platform they need to show their abilities.
