He added that in 2004 when he competed there was very little support for the Paralympics but things have changed now.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier on Thursday, in a bid to support the Paralympic movement in India and in sync with their vision to support the growth of multi-sport in India, Shrachi Group and Shrachi Sports signed a deal with the PCI for three years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ahead of the Paralympic Games, this deal will help the PCI support its athletes better and make a difference to India\u2019s ground breaking effort in Paris.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On the occasion, PCI president Devendra Jhajharia said, \u201cWhen I competed in 2004 there was very little support for the Paralympics. It gives me great joy to see things have changed. This partnership will go a long way to helping us do our best in Paris and I am confident the Paris Paralympics will be a watershed in the history of Indian sport. On behalf of the athletes, I thank Shrachi Sports for the support and the commitment shown to the cause.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, Shrachi Group MD Rahul Todi said, \u201cIt has always been a deep desire to see my country do well in the Paralympics. It is an index of what we stand for as a society. We need to support the Paralympic movement in every way and not just express sympathy. In fact, it is never about sympathy. Rather, we need to treat our para-athletes just as we do our able-bodied athletes and give them the very same support and respect. Our support is a small effort in helping them better prepare for Paris and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/04\/paris-paralympics-will-be-a-watershed-in-the-history-of-indian-sport-devendra-jhajharia.jpg", "alt_img": "Paris Paralympics will be a watershed in the history of Indian sport: Devendra Jhajharia", "alt_title": "Devendra jhajharia,", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Paris Paralympics Will Be A Watershed In The History Of Indian Sport: Devendra Jhajharia On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Paris Paralympics Will Be A Watershed In The History Of Indian Sport: Devendra Jhajharia, Shrachi Group MD Rahul Todi: Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) president Devendra Jhajharia on Thursday said that he is confident.", "seo_keywords": "Paris Paralympics, Devendra Jhajharia, New Delhi, Paralympic Committee, Shrachi Group, Shrachi Sports, Paralympic Games, Shrachi Group MD Rahul Todi", "tag": "", "tagging": "Paris Paralympics, Devendra Jhajharia, New Delhi, Paralympic Committee, Shrachi Group, Shrachi Sports, Paralympic Games", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "paris-paralympics-will-be-a-watershed-in-the-history-of-indian-sport-devendra-jhajharia", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "870", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-04-11 20:14:03", "updated": "2024-04-11 20:14:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Paris Paralympics, Devendra Jhajharia, New Delhi, Paralympic Committee, Shrachi Group, Shrachi Sports, Paralympic Games, Shrachi Group MD Rahul Todi", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-04-11 20:14:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "others", "cnmid": "889965", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/paris-paralympics-will-be-a-watershed-in-the-history-of-indian-sport-devendra-jhajharia-14503" }
