Shuttlers assure India medals, Avani misses out

However, star shooter Avani Lekhara missed out on repeating her medal-winning feat failing to qualify for the final following an 11th-place finish in the mixed 10m air rifle prone (SH1) qualification.

The 19-year-old Manisha, who was born with Erb's palsy which affected her right arm, defeated Japan's Mamiko Toyoda 21-13, 21-16 in the quarterfinals. The second-seeded Indian left-hander needed 30 minutes to down her unseeded rival.

Erb's palsy is a nerve disorder in the shoulder and arm that results in weakness or loss of muscle function. In SU5 category, the players have impairment of the upper limbs. The impairment could be on the playing or non-playing hand.

UNLEARNING THE SUSTAINABLE WAY

In 2012, environmental activist Jyoti Raghavan Khanduja was returning from a family vacation in Jim Corbett National Park back to her home in Gurugram. As her car neared the Ghazipur landfill, a sharp stench sliced through the already polluted air, conjuring a dystopian image as if straight from Charles Dickens’ Hard Times. \"It was a horrendous sight. There was a monster of garbage there. It was a wake-up call to create a community of conscious children who are ready to tackle future challenges—poor waste management, rising pollution, water crisis, food shortages, labour crises and other such problems. I wanted them to be concerned for the environment right from the start,\" she says as she walks me around the vast expanse of her new community-driven school, Forest Spirit Learning, in the foothills of the forested Aravalli mountain range in Shikohpur, Gurugram.
