Many times life presents before us difficulties that seem insurmountable. But there are some renegades who continue to reach the zenith despite these difficulties. One such renegade is Udghosh’s guest, Sharad Kumar.
Suffering from polio since the age of two, he didn’t allow it to get the best of him. A para-high jumper, he has the distinction of being world no. 1 in his sport and won gold in the para high jump in 2014 Asian Para Games.

Udghosh is honoured to have him for a motivational session, “Udaan” - to tell the campus junta how one can take a flight like a phoenix despite the difficulties. So, do join us on 2nd April from 2 pm to 4 pm in L10 for the session!
