India’s campaign at the Paris Paralympics 2024 kicked off on August 29.
This year, India has sent its largest-ever contingent to the Games, with 84 athletes representing the nation in Paris. Of these, 38 Indian athletes will be competing in various athletics events starting from August 30.
India aims to build on its successful performance at the Tokyo Paralympics in 2021, where the nation secured 19 medals (5 gold, 8 silver, and 6 bronze). This haul exceeded the total tally of 12 medals that India had won in all previous Games combined since their debut at the 1968 Paralympics.
