She’s an ardent and avid Sportsperson and with that attitude, she recently scripted history by winning the silver medal in the women’s shotput F53 event at the Rio Paralympics, with a personal best throw of 4.61m! This win at the Rio made her India’s first woman and oldest athlete to ever win a medal at the Paralympics.

Deepa’s seminal experiments in the field of sports have illuminated the path for other aspiring sportspersons. Her discipline, competitiveness and focus have bestowed her with international attention. At an age when most athletes are considering retirement, Ms. Malik was just getting started. She began by joining the Himalayan Motorsports Association and conquered an 8-day 1,700 km bike ride to 18,000 feet in sub-zero temperatures.A huge fan of biking, Deepa has entered the Limca Book of Records 4 times.

Deepa Malik has served our country with matchless grace, wisdom, and clarity and has been bestowed with compliments from all across the world. Wife of a veteran cavalier Colonel Bikram Singh and daughter of a veteran Infantry Colonel BK Nagpal, she is the mother of two adult daughters – Devika and Ambika. Raised in an army family, Ms. Deepa Malik is used to braving difficulties. An embodiment of humility, graciousness and generosity – she is extremely down to earth, blessed with a charismatic personality and choice of blessings from the Almighty. Ms. Deepa Malik has demonstrated enormous capability to connect horizon.

It is a moment of exuberance that we have the pleasure of having her honored presence today amidst us on this inimitable occasion.
