Senior national para championship

Dr Shakuntala Mishra National Rehab: Gyan Prakash Sharma likes challenges. Being a talented sportsperson, he began playing wheelchair cricket for Uttar Pradesh and at someone's instigation, not only tried his hand at arm wrestling but also won a bronze medal in the national Open championship in the sport.

However, Gyan, a resident of Patna in Bihar, who has paralysis since birth in both legs, took one sport emotionally to heart - badminton. To further grow and excel, Gyan, who came to participate in the Khelo India Para Games 2025 for the first time, expressed his desire to make a mark in this sport

Gyan Prakash Sharma, who plays in the Wheelchair (SL4) category, also has an MBA degree in HR specialisation, which he obtained from Dr Shakuntala Mishra National Rehab University (Lucknow) this year. He also practises badminton on the campus of the same university. Notably, he is the only wheelchair badminton player from Bihar to participate in the second edition of the Khelo India Para Games here in Delhi.
