India will get their 2024 Paris Paralympics campaign underway on Thursday (29 August), a day after the opening ceremony takes place in the French capital. India have sent 84 athletes for the Paralympics, making this the biggest Indian contingent ever at the showpiece event. India had sent 54 athletes at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics three years ago. In Tokyo, India had won 19 medals that included five gold, eight silver and six bronze medals. Hopes will be high this time around as India aim for at least 25 medals in Paris.
