Meet Girisha Hosanagara- The Indian Paralympics Silver medalist!!
This is a story of guts, courage, determination and glory!! Meet our country’s first ever Paralympics Silver medalist- Girisha Hosanagara Nagarajegowda. All of 25 years, he has been participating in sports ever since his school days. Unfazed by little support for a sport like high jump, he went on to compete in the World Paralympics, September 2012 held in London. He made our country proud by winning the first ever silver medal at the event! With an audience of 80,000 people watching him live on the ground, he jumped a height of 1.74 mts. The bar for excellence just got raised!!
Girisha humbly says “There is struggle in every kind of sport, in every field of life. But, it is our determination that helps us stay focused. My father told me not to worry about winning the medal. He encouraged me to make myself good enough to just participate!”
We are very happy and proud to have Girisha with us at this Open House. Its an honor and inspiration!

Would it not be great if these Open House sessions are recorded and posted for later viewing? There are many people who can’t help but miss such great sessions because of separated geographies.
Kindly do give a thought over it, I am certain this would be needed by many people.
Akancha Srivastava
Hi, we generally have a couple of blogs from those who attend these Open House and we post them here. they give a brilliant account of what transpired as well as pictures!! Video recording of some highlights at a later date is a good idea..-:)))
