Trekking has always been his passion and he found that trekking gave him excitement, happiness and joy. In one of the interviews, he said that he paid more attention to trekking after becoming disabled.We are proud of you. It’s a fairly common belief that people with leg amputations should stay home.

Shekar Goud strongly believes that you can achieve anything in life if you make decisions with confidence and act with passion. In his interview, he said he has many plans for the future and is working to make his dreams come true.
The Story Behind Being an Amputee :
Shekar Goud was electrocuted and had his limbs amputated
when he was just 18 years old. On December 24,
2006, it happened when one of his friends played a prank on him. He was sitting against a wall
talking
to a friend on the phone when he approached and pushed him away. He grabbed the wire to avoid
hitting
his head on the ground, which was a mistake as he got electrocuted. He was unconscious. He was in a
hospital bed. He continued to stay in the village after the accident, but seeing his whole family
crying
made him weak, upset and angry. He then moved to Hyderabad and started living on his own. He
completed
his education up to the 10th grade and now earns his living at Pranaam Hospital.
Shekar’s Life after Becoming an Amputee :
Shekhar’s right arm after the shoulder, the lower part of
the right leg where the toes were, and the
left leg after the knee were amputated. As he said earlier that he never gave up on his passion and
his
dreams. In December 2016, he was ready to cycle from Ladakh to Kanyakumari unaided for 48 days. This
success prompted him to pursue other activities. He started swimming lessons, badminton and running
marathons. These activities are part of the list of things that fascinate him.

in India, he embarked on a long journey and

him, convinced that nothing was impossible in his life and that even with disabilities he could do
anything. Shortly after, he reached Mount Elbrus in southern Russia, becoming the first Indian to
undergo a triple amputation.
After a life-changing accident, Padma Shri Sumit Antil's seven-year journey in javelin throw led him to break world records and claim gold at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. Here's his story.
In the town of Sonepat, Haryana, Sumit Antil grew up with a deep love for wrestling, driven by the achievements of Haryana’s own Yogeshwar Dutt, a bronze medalist at the 2012 London Olympics. Despite losing his father at the tender age of seven, he held fast to his dream of one day representing India on the international stage. However, on 5 January, 2015, when Sumit was just 17, his life took an unexpected turn. A tractor ran over him as he was returning home on his motorbike, resulting in the amputation of his left leg.
After enduring a gruelling 53-day recovery and receiving a Prosthetic Leg at the Artificial Limb Centre in Pune, Sumit was committed to making a comeback to sports. In 2017, Sumit was introduced to the world of para-athletics by Rajkumar, a local para-athlete. Soon, Sumit’s formal training in para javelin began under coach Nitin Jaiswal. By 2018, he had transitioned to training under Javelin Coach Naval Singh at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi, after being introduced by Silver Medalist Virender Dhankar from the 2018 Asian Games.
His journey to mastering the Javelin was anything but easy—his Prosthetic Leg would often fill with blood, causing intense pain and discomfort. Yet, every morning at 3 am, he practised relentlessly with one goal in mind: to shatter the world record. His efforts paid off when, in 2019, he secured a silver medal at the World Para Athletics Grand Prix in Italy, setting a world record of 60.45m in the F64 category. Later that year, he broke his own record with a 62.88m throw at the World Para Athletics Championships in Dubai, earning another silver.
