Adhana, who also won bronze in the 10m air pistol SH1 in Tokyo, spoke about the importance of a balanced diet, fitness and sports among students across the country.

"Having a healthy body and determination makes one win half the battle and that’s what I have learnt since my childhood," said the 39-year-old shooter from Haryana.

"This is a remarkable event started by Hon'ble PM, which I feel gives the children of India an opportunity to get real-life knowledge on the importance of balanced diet and nutrition.

"And at the same time, it also gives opportunity to athletes like us to interact with these children and answer their questions related to our journey, nutrition and mentality.

"I feel really happy to come to this sacred land of Ramnagar and am really touched by the hospitality that the school has given me and enthusiasm shown by the students."

The programme was held in the Govt. Model Higher Secondary School, Ramnagar at Udhampur district of Jammu and Kashmir.

The event featured videos on balanced diet and quiz sessions, where winners received prizes.

The initiative was organised jointly by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and the Ministry of Education.
