Aman’s selection has been formally confirmed through the Administrative Sanction issued by the Sports Authority of India (SAI), Department of Sports, Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Government of India, dated 7 September 2026.

Aman’s selection is a matter of great pride for his family, ADM Senior Secondary School, the Ashray Deaf Resource Centre, SPIN, Faridabad and Haryana. His achievement demonstrates the potential of Deaf and hard-of-hearing students when educational support, communication access, sporting opportunities, mentoring and encouragement are provided consistently.
Speaking on the achievement, Mr. Sanjay Verghese, Executive Secretary, SPIN, said:
“Aman’s selection to represent India is a very proud moment for all of us. We are delighted that a student connected with both ADM Senior Secondary School and the Ashray Deaf Resource Centre has reached the national level and will now represent the country internationally. His achievement shows what is possible when educational institutions, specialised support centres, teachers, coaches and families work together to recognise and nurture the abilities of Deaf young people. We wish Aman and the entire Indian contingent every success in Malaysia.”
