India's Paralympic Contingent Boosted by Corporate Support

The Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) is sending its largest-ever contingent to the Paralympics, with 84 athletes competing in 12 sports. This is a testament to the growing support for para-athletes in India, with many corporates stepping in to assist the players.

PCI president Devendra Jhajharia expressed his appreciation for the increasing support during the send-off ceremony. "I would like to thank the Government of India, sponsors, and the corporates who have come together to support our athletes," Jhajharia said.

One of the key supporters is Shrachi Group, which has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting para-athletes through a partnership with the PCI. Shrachi Group Executive Director Poonam Tharar said, "Our vision is to give support to the para-athletes which they deserve. Shrachi Sports wanted to make sure that the message reaches the masses, para athletes get the required support."

The support from corporates has given a huge boost to the morale of the athletes. Jhajharia said, "The support given to para-athletes in recent times has given a huge boost to the morale of the athletes."

The Paralympics will commence on August 28 and promise to showcase the exceptional talents and dedication of India's para-athletes. The contingent will compete in archery, athletics, badminton, canoeing, cycling, blind judo, powerlifting, rowing, shooting, swimming, table tennis, and taekwondo.
