Ravi Kumar
Born in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, in a modest village, Ravi's left side has been weak since birth. He comes from a family that makes a living selling mud utensils by the highway. Growing up was difficult, but he believes that without it, he would not have realized the importance of life. Ravi graduated from Meerut in 2013 with a bachelor's degree in computer applications. He then spent four years assisting his parents in their small family business. He considers the year 2017 to be a pivotal event in his life because it was then that he learned about Devandar Jhajharia, the first Indian to win two Paralympic medals. He began to believe in himself and believes that he can do the same thing. Since then, he's been working out and competing in athletics regularly. In 2019, he earned his first gold medal in his maiden international participation in Paris. He traveled to Odisha in 2021 to train with Mr. Bishnu Prasad, and he is now looking forward to achieving even greater goals in the National and International circuit.
