Sheetal Devi, a 16-year-old female archer, made history in the just-completed Asian Para Games 2023 in Hangzhou, China, with her outstanding performance. In the individual and mixed team categories at the international sporting event, she won multiple medals. Soon, greetings from all around the nation began to arrive.
Extraordinary talent is constantly appreciated and encouraged by Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra. Business magnate Anand Mahindra posted on X how the archer who triumphed against all obstacles and brought pride to India inspires him. The 68-year-old businessman expressed his admiration for the remarkable Seethal Devi in his most recent post. In a touching gesture, Mahindra promised to provide the player a customised car as a token of his support.
He said in his post that Seethal Devi may select any Mahindra vehicle from the portfolio, and it would be tailored to meet her specific needs.
At the Hangzhou Asian Para Games on Friday, Sheetal Devi achieved an incredible accomplishment by winning the gold medal in the women’s individual compound open archery event.
She and Rakesh Kumar had won a gold medal in the Asian Para Games 2022 mixed team compound event just one day earlier. In addition, she and Sarita had won a silver medal in the women’s doubles compound event earlier.
Seethal Devi faced several difficult obstacles on his way to achievement. Her unwavering resolve, meanwhile, is a striking example of the power of the human will.
Notably, Ms. Devi was born with phocomelia syndrome, an uncommon congenital condition that prevented her limbs from growing fully. Ms. Devi, who was raised by the Indian Army and found at a military base in a remote area of Kishtwar, upset Singapore’s Alim Nur Syahidah 144-142 in the gold medal match in July to become the first armless woman to earn a medal at the Para World Archery Championships.
She was physically unable to compete, yet she nevertheless managed to qualify for the world finals, win two gold medals, and leave her mark on sports history.
The news that Mahindra will be honouring Seethal Devi with a specially designed vehicle from their extensive array of offerings has generated a great deal of enthusiasm and admiration across the country.
Numerous people on the internet complimented and commended Mr. Mahindra for his kindness.
One user wrote, ”Thank you very much for this @anandmahindra ji. When we first got her across to Bengaluru, after a day of sightseeing, Sheetal had put her feet on my parked car’s steering wheel and said ‘ek din mein bhi gaadi chalaoongi’ Dreams do come true. We knew she would do it.”
