Proud to Be Indian: Praveen Kumar, India’s Youngest Paralympic and Padma Awardee, Shares His Story
Praveen Kumar, born in 2003 in Noida, India, overcame a congenitally short leg and childhood insecurities by turning to sports like volleyball before discovering para high jump. He became India’s youngest Paralympic medalist with a silver at Tokyo 2020 (at age 18), followed by gold at Paris 2024 with a 2.08m leap, Asian Para Games gold, and recently the Padma Shri award in 2026, sharing his inspiring journey of resilience and national pride.
