New Delhi, June 15 (IANS) A robust 16-member Indian para powerlifting contingent is all set to represent the nation at the prestigious Beijing 2025 Para Powerlifting World Cup, scheduled to take place from June 17–25 in Beijing, China.
The team received a grand send-off at a ceremony organised at the National Sports Club of India (NSCI), New Delhi, in the presence of dignitaries and well-wishers from the para-sporting community.
Ranjit Kumar, IRS, PR Additional Directorate General, graced the occasion as the chief guest, extending his best wishes to the athletes. Deeply moved by the sheer power and resilience of the para powerlifters, he remarked, “I was truly overawed by the strength and determination these athletes possess. It was a humbling and motivating experience. I wish them not only the best for this tournament, but for a great future ahead.”
Also present on the occasion were Dr. Deepa Malik, South-East Asia Member of the Asian Paralympic Committee, and Jayawant Hamnnavar, Secretary General of the Paralympic Committee of India, both of whom lauded the athletes and encouraged them to aim for podium finishes in Beijing.
