The athletes were accompanied by the Paralympic Committee of India president Devendra Jhajharia.
Club thrower Parnav also opened up on the motivation behind his silver medal winning performance at Paris 2024.
“This was my first Paralympics. Like any other athlete, I was also very nervous. But my goal was to give my best because had i missed this opportunity, i would’ve had to wait four years fr the next chance. So, that’s why, I had to do better. I had an accident in 2011. I wanted to quit even before things started for me,” Parnav said at the ceremony.
“Over the years, I have learnt that there is no shortcut to success. You have to work hard for success, you have to sacrifice a lot. It is very important that you understand your limitations and recognise your strengths, so that you can overcome your weaknesses with your strengths. If your plan does not work then you should change your plan, not your goal. I consider myself very lucky,” Parnav added.
