On crutches, but multifaceted

Neeraj George loves adventure. “I watched the game on television and started playing it,” says Neeraj, who plays on crutches. I was taken in the special sports person category,” says Neeraj, who now focuses more on promoting fresh talents. “In Kerala, I have trekked at places like Chembra Peak, Pakshipathalam, Ponmudi, Peechi, Ilanjippara Falls, Ilaveezhapoonchira, Illikkal Kallu and Edakkal Caves,” he says. “I covered 27 km.” The latest achievement on his list is the first adventure sport — scuba diving — he did a few days ago in Thiruvananthapuram.
