When the world listens less, Bihar speaks loudest—through strength, skill, and spirit.
In a historic moment at the 27th National Deaf Senior and 10th Junior & Sub-Junior Championships held at VSSD College, Kanpur, Bihar’s deaf athletes stole the spotlight. With unmatched determination, Bihar claimed both senior and junior taekwondo titles, outclassing competitors from across the nation.

Bihar’s Deaf Champions Break Barriers

Sport isn’t just about medals—it’s about moments, and Bihar created many of them.
Their victories at the national deaf championships are not just triumphs of skill but stories of grit, discipline, and untold potential.

While Punjab finished as the runner-up and Uttar Pradesh and Haryana shared the third spot, it was Bihar’s dominance in taekwondo—both junior and senior categories—that became the highlight of the championship.

Judo Warriors Also Made Their Mark

Besides taekwondo, the championship also hosted intense judo battles, where young deaf athletes showcased astonishing power and technique.
From UP’s Shabnam and Pragati clinching the 44 kg and 48 kg women’s categories to Maharashtra’s Raghunath Prasad and Omkar Suresh dominating the 55 kg and 100 kg men’s groups—every bout was a showcase of unspoken power.
