Indian honor and pride

Pooja GARG (Paracanoe)

Full Name: Pooja Garg
Birthplace: Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India
Education: B.E. (IT) – 2010
Health Challenges:

  • Spinal Cord Injury (2010) – Paralyzed below the waist

  • Cancer Survivor (2024)

Pooja Garg is an international para-athlete, cancer survivor, and world record holder from Indore, India.

In 2010, a life-changing accident left her paralyzed below the waist. After 13 major surgeries and three years confined to a bed, she refused to let life define her.

Through sheer resilience, she rebuilt herself with sports—first as a national champion in shooting and later representing India in para canoeing at the Asian and World Championships.

In 2024, she made history as the first paraplegic woman to ride 4,500 km from Indore to Nathula Pass (14,400 ft) on a 4-wheel bike, raising the tricolor and earning a World Book of Records recognition.

Today, Pooja is preparing for the 2026 Asian Games and 2028 Paralympics, while inspiring thousands through motivational talks, mentoring para-athletes, and her ‘Triple C’ cancer awareness initiative.

World Book Record Holder. International Medalist.
Indian Pride — 2025.

I’m honored to share that I have officially achieved a World Record, recognized by the London Book of World Records.

World Book of Records

Proud to share that I have officially achieved a World Record — proving that no challenge is bigger than courage.
This is not just my victory, it’s a message to every fighter out there:

“When I first read about Pooja Garg’s journey — a cancer survivor, a paraplegic, a national record-holder, and a voice for millions — I had goosebumps. She is proof that true beauty lies in courage. Her battles remind us that healing begins not just in hospitals, but in the mind, in the will, and in the belief that we are more than our pain. Pooja, you’re not just an inspiration — you’re a revolution.

Deepika Padukone From a Bollywood Icon

"Every medal Pooja Garg wins is not just a sporting achievement — it’s a victory over pain, over fear, over impossibility itself. In her, we see the future of Indian sports — inclusive, resilient, and fearless. Her spirit uplifts our youth, her discipline defines excellence, and her service to society makes her a true national treasure. India salutes you, Pooja.

Anurag Thakur Union Sports Minister

“Pooja Garg’s life is not just a journey of survival — it’s a masterclass in transformation. From a locked room to global podiums, from silence to roaring strength, her voice now echoes in classrooms, hospitals, and villages. She is the embodiment of dignity, purpose, and global sisterhood. The world needs more Pooja Gargs — and today, we stand in awe of her light.”
