Urvashi Thacker and Jairaj Thacker of the Narsee Monjee Educational Trust hosted the 21st Sports Meet for Differently Abled Children on the Jamnabai Narsee Playground. The sports day celebrated the spirit of inclusion and community by hosting its annual sports day for more than 1,400 differently-abled children from more than 60 schools.

For the past 2 decades, this event has provided children with unique abilities — a platform to showcase their talents, break barriers, and inspire everyone with their determination and joy. The sports day exemplifies the school’s commitment to fostering a sense of belonging and encouragement among all children.

All the students who participated in this Sports Meet were differently challenged – the visually impaired, the hearing impaired, the physically challenged and the intellectually challenged. They were assisted in their sports activities on this day by Jamnabai Narsee students who volunteered wholeheartedly and made this event enjoyable for them.

Adding a special touch to this year’s sports day was Bollywood actor and Jamnabai Narsee School alumnus Vedang Raina.

Reflecting on the moment, Vedang shares, “Being back at my own school for this inspiring event is a full-circle moment. These children show us what resilience and true spirit means. I am so proud to see Jamnabai Narsee School continue to host this incredible sports day every year.”
