As the campaign comes close to an end, here are five takeaways from Paris: ADOPT MORE SPORTS: There were 23 sports disciplines at the Paris Paralympics but the majority of India’s success came in just four — athletics, archery, shooting and badminton. In swimming, for example, there were 140 medals on offer, but India had just one participant. Clearly, there is immense room for improvement.

We had to dress her eye every six hours. For her to play with the infection shows how resilient she is”, said Dr Ameya Kagali, medical head of the contingent.
