In recent years, Para Archery in India has seen a remarkable rise — not just in terms of medals, but in resilience, recognition, and representation. Para archers have proven time and again that excellence knows no physical limits, and their journey is one of grit, passion, and an unyielding will to aim higher.

The Emerging Stars of Para Archery

From Harvinder Singh, who clinched a historic bronze at the Tokyo Paralympics, to fresh talents emerging from grassroots programs, India is witnessing a powerful movement in inclusive sports.

One such inspiring name is Shriya Joshi, who recently won a silver medal in the W1 category at the Khelo India Games. Her performance is a testament to what focused training, determination, and support can achieve — and she stands as a role model for aspiring para archers across the country.

Several state federations and NGOs are nurturing such talent through specialized coaching, adaptive equipment, and inclusive tournaments. However, much more needs to be done to help para archery reach its full potential.

Challenges Faced by Para Archers

Despite their accomplishments, many para archers face barriers such as:

• Limited access to adaptive archery equipment

• Lack of dedicated training infrastructure

• Minimal media coverage and sponsorship

• High cost of international-grade bows and accessories

These obstacles can hinder not only training but also participation in competitions, both nationally and globally.

How We Can All Help

At ArcheryKart, we believe in empowering every archer — regardless of their physical ability. Here are a few ways we can collectively support para archery in India:

🏹 1. Sponsor or Donate Adaptive Equipment

Many para archers need specialized gear — from modified risers to customized release aids. Sponsoring such equipment can change the course of an athlete’s journey.

🏹 2. Encourage Inclusion in Clubs and Events

If you run a club, coach, or participate in events, ensure para athletes are welcomed, accommodated, and encouraged to compete equally.

🏹 3. Shop With Purpose

Every purchase on ArcheryKart supports the archery ecosystem in India. A portion of proceeds from select equipment will soon be directed toward funding para archers — a small step with a big impact.

🏹 4. Spread the Word

Share stories of para archers on social media. Talk about them, cheer for them, and help them gain the recognition they truly deserve.

The Road Ahead

India’s para archers are not just athletes — they are ambassadors of courage. With the right support, visibility, and resources, we can ensure they continue to hit bullseyes, both on the range and in life.

Let’s celebrate their victories and invest in their future.

More strength to every arrow. More power to every dream.
