This paper featured an uplifting report about a Paralympic table tennis silver medallist Bhavina Patel. This wheelchair-bound para-athlete, who is a Central government employee working in Ahmedabad, won a silver medal in women’s table tennis at the Paralympics in Tokyo in 2020. She was in Mumbai to deliver a motivational speech to schoolgirls. The invite came via an organisation that encourages and empowers girls through sport.
