The Paralympics double-medallist Singhraj, who contracted the Covid-19 few months before the Paralympics-2021, stressed on the importance of having ‘Santulit Aahar’ (balanced diet) to build strong immunity and own a healthy body.
“Having a healthy body and determination makes one win half the battle and that’s what I have learnt since my childhood,” said the 39-year-old ace shooter from Haryana during the event, organised at Government Model Higher Secondary School, Ramnagar in Udhampur district.
The event was witnessed by nearly 200 participants from 75 Schools across the UT. Inclusion of interesting and quick videos on balanced diet, quiz sessions where winners were given away prizes made the event quite exciting for students that carried an overwhelming response for the Champ of the event.
