Young Indian archer Pragati, who defied the odds to clinch a gold medal in the recently concluded World University Games in China, expressed her delight after speaking to Prime Minister Narendra Modi live on air during his monthly radio broadcast — ‘Mann Ki Baat’.
The 17-year-old archer produced a major upset along with Aman Saini to upend the tournament favourites from South Korea 157-156 in the mixed event.
However, the Korean team got their revenge in the women’s team event final, with Pragati and her team going down and settling for silver.
PM Modi lauded the Indian athletes for their exceptional performance in the entire tournament.
