Rajinder Singh who hails from PethGhamGadporaTral has been stuck in a wheelchair for the last 22 years due to Spinal Cord Injury.
Despite not being able to walk, Rajinder Singh has kept himself active in sports and social activities.
In the recently held sixth National Para Boccia Championship at Chitkara University, Chandigarh, Rajinder bagged gold for J&K in the BC5 category.
“I am happy to bag a gold medal for J&K at the National level. I have been working hard and trying my best to do something for J&K. I finally managed to bag gold,” Rajinder said.
“I will continue working hard and will try to bring laurels for J&K at the international level,” he said.
Rajinder has previously represented India in the Para South Asian Chess Championship and has also been awarded the state award in 2014 for social activity.
“For a person who is unable to walk due to Spinal cord injury, it is not easy to carry on with such activities. But I didn't lose heart and told myself that I can still achieve many things. It is due to my willpower and dedication that I have been able to do this,” he added.
