JAIPUR: It was never about disability, but about intent. Intent to achieve big. For both the para athletes from Rajasthan, javelin thrower Devendra Jhajharia and shooter Avani Lekhara, their dreams came true when they dominated the stage last year at the Tokyo Paralympics. And on Tuesday, winning Padma awards for their outstanding performances at the biggest sporting arena, was the cherry on the cake.
Jhajharia was awarded with Padma Bhushan while Lekhara with Padma Shri.
