Madhavi Lata - A Champions drive for Inclusion through Sports - Trinayani

In this film, Madhavi Lata recounts her journey from being advised to avoid sports entirely to becoming a pioneering force in the world of adaptive sports in India.
Through sheer determination, Madhavi Lata not only conquered her physical challenges but also shattered societal barriers, becoming a decorated swimmer and eventually founding the Paralympic Swimming Association in Tamil Nadu. Recognizing the transformative power of sports, she also spearheaded the introduction of wheelchair basketball in India, creating opportunities for hundreds of athletes with disabilities across the country.
This film sheds light on the urgent need for greater awareness and support for adaptive sports in India. It highlights how sports can significantly improve the lives of people with disabilities, offering them not just physical well-being but also confidence, leadership skills, and social inclusion.
