The 2024 Paris Paralympic Games are set to begin with the opening ceremony on Wednesday (August 28). The Olympic Games in Paris were quite disappointing for the Indian contingent, with only 6 medals earned. Neeraj Chopra's silver in the men's javelin throw final was the best India could fetch in the Olympic Games. As the focus shifts to the Para Games, the 84-member strong Indian contingent hopes to better its Tokyo Paralympics tally of 19 medals. In the last edition, India had won 5 gold medals.
