Recently, Deepthi Jeevanji brought pride to our Telugu states by securing a medal at the Paralympics. Originating from a remote village in the Warangal district, her accomplishment has made the entire nation proud.

Upon winning the Paralympic medal, I inquired about her wishes, to which she expressed a desire to meet Chiranjeevi Garu. When I relayed this to him, he immediately responded that it would be an honour to meet someone who had achieved such a significant milestone. He insisted that he would personally visit our academy to meet her.

True to his word, he came to our academy and dedicated nearly two hours to engaging with the children. His presence and encouraging words were a source of inspiration for all.

We were also thrilled to see Chiranjeevi Garu presenting a cheque of Rs. 3 lakhs to Deepthi. This generous gesture was a profound honour for us. With his motivational interaction, we aspire to see many more young talents reach remarkable heights in the sport.
