Born in the humble village of Periya Pudur to a family facing physical impairments and economic challenges, Sanjay Kanna’s story is one of overcoming immense odds to achieve extraordinary success.

It was through Mr. Ulaganathan’s encouragement that Sanjay was introduced to the renowned Indian para athletic coach, Mr. Sathyanarayanan. Under the mentorship of Coach Sathyanarayanan, Sanjay honed his skills in throwing events such as shotput, discus, and javelin. Through years of rigorous training and dedication, Sanjay mastered the techniques of each discipline. His dedication and perseverance led him to represent India at international competitions, including the World Ability Sports Games in 2023 and the World Para Grand Prix in 2024.
