August 7, 2021, was surely a momentous day for every Indian! Reason: the 23-year-old athlete Neeraj Chopra from Haryana created history and became the country’s second individual to win gold in the Olympics, after sport shooter Abhinav Apjit Bindra.  

Chopra made astounding records with a throw of 87.58 metres in the Men's Javelin gold medal at the Tokyo Olympic. After making Indians swelling with pride, he has been honoured with many rewards by several state governments and private organisations for his remarkable accomplishment.
