Badminton

After meeting a road accident in 2011 where she had to undergo six surgeries, Manasi Joshi regathered herself to become a Para-Badminton champion.

And when the doll was finally delivered to me, I was so happy to receive such a delicate item. So I was so honoured to be a part of that elite list. When Barbie had dedicated a doll on International Day For Girl Child to me I was so so happy. I am here because of the support received from doctors and other staff in the hospital. I am here because of the kind of support these four have given me. I have received the maximum support from my family my mother and father, my younger sister and younger brother. Within 2 years of my accident, I had become a para-badminton player and I was competing in international tournaments. I was about to complete a year in office. In 2014, I participated in my first para-badminton international tournament. I started my coaching for badminton from the Summer Coaching Camps. Manasi Joshi: I developed an interest in playing badminton since my childhood, possibly when I was in the 4th or 5th standard. In 2020, Barbie also dedicated a one-of-its-kind doll to Joshi on the occasion of International Day for Girl Child.
