Transcript of ADITYA MEHTA - PARA CYCLIST
Aditya Mehta, Paracyclist
Aditya Mehta, the Para Cyclist who hails from Hyderabad has recently accomplished his ride from Manali to Khardunga La. He started this ride from August 1, 2014 and finished it by hoisting our national flag at Khardunga La on August 15, 2014.To be noted is the fact that Aditya may be the first in his category (amputated above knee cyclist) to have completed this ride. Moreover, Manali to Khardunga La is the world's highest motorable road, 18380 feet with the toughest conditions to fight against.
Aditya's right leg is amputated above the knee as a result of an unfortunate accident. He soon discovered cycling and it became his passion. Following his passion, he has participated in multiple cycling events and has added a new chapter to his life. It is now his dream to help other physically challenged people discover the joy of sport.

Aditya Mehta Foundation (AMF) I am proud to announce that this is my maiden initiative in the field of Para sports in India, by aiding three para-athletes from across the country
The objective of Aditya Mehta Foundation is to “Care, Concern, and Change”.
The organization has been working tirelessly since its inception to identify and support the needy Indian Para athletes with financial and moral support. As part of this initiative the foundation is supporting three Para athletes belonging to different parts of India, this month. Absolute apathy towards Para-athletes from corporate, Governments, NGOs, individual philanthropists etc., moved me and spurred me to build awareness about my fellow Para-athletes' special needs and launch this foundation to accomplish the task.
I Aditya Mehta has taken this onerous task to support my fellow Para-athletes through Aditya Mehta Foundation.
In future AMF would like to expand and help all the physcially challenged people.
Abhishek, Srinivas are athletes who are limited due to circumstances. Aditya intended to raise funds
to get a cycle for Abhishek, an artificial leg for Srinivas through ADITYA MEHTA
FOUNDATION.
Recently Aditya Mehta Foundation has also supported GIRISH – INTERNATIONAL PLAYER (PARA –ATHELETE) FOR BADMINTION who is representing our country in International
Championship.ADITYA MEHTA FOUNDATION has contributed about Rs.30,000
