PM Modi Wishes Indian Contingent For Paris Paralympic Games
Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday virtually interacted with the members of the Indian contingent for the upcoming Paralympic Games in Paris starting August 28, and wished that they would help keep the Indian flag flying high in the French capital as they did in Tokyo in 2021.
India is sending its biggest-ever contingent of 84 para-sportspersons for the Paris Paralympic Games led by previous medal winners like Mariyappan Thangavelu, Avani Lekhara, Sumit Antil, Yogesh Kathuniya, and Bhavina Patel.
In his address to the athletes, the Prime Minister said India's medal count in the Paralympic Games has multiplied since the 2012 London Games, when the country won only one medal (a silver in men's high jump by H.N. Girisha).
