Ashoka University Student Wins Gold at Para Swimming Nationals
Roshni Patra, a UG first-year psychology student at Ashoka University, received a gold medal in the 23rd National Para Swimming Championship under the 50-metre freestyle category. The event was held on March 20, 2024, where Roshni represented Maharashtra State at the competition.
Roshni Patra is an active athlete with visual impairment. Till the third grade, she had low vision but she was able to read large fonts. However, her vision deteriorated with age. Though her condition was diagnosed after birth, but this does not stop her from achieving her goals.
Talking about her achievements, Roshni said "Swimming is difficult for the visually challenged person at times. There is a possibility that one might hit their head on the pool walls. Initially, I was afraid but my motivation began in 2017 when I started intensive training and physical fitness."
As of now, Roshni holds several achievements including eight gold medals at the national championship conducted so far.
“Roshni’s victory motivates us and sets a good example for us. She practised all day despite having several obstacles. Her accomplishments are not surprising to those who know her personally,” her coach Kiran Pathak said.
The Ashoka University's Vice Chancellor, Somak Raychaudhury, congratulated Roshni and mentioned her other talents such as chess, singing and voice artist.
“We are filled with extreme pride with Roshni's achievements. Apart from being an excellent swimmer, she also has other talents like playing chess, singing, and composing. Her journey is a motivation to us. At Ashoka University, we make sure to offer all students with equal opportunity and the correct platform to maximize their potential, and Roshni represents the best of us.” The Vice-Chancellor added.
