Confined to her bed for seven years, Pooja Garg rose to become a national para-athlete, cancer warrior, and changemaker, standing as a testament to courage

PAIN TURNS INTO POWER

IN September 2010, a spine injury changed 21-year-old Pooja Garg’s life completely. A bright IT graduate from Indore’s Sushila Devi Bansal College, she had just finished her Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology and was preparing to start her dream job as a software developer in Noida with an annual package of %4 lakh. But a sudden accident at home brought all her plans to a halt.

“Back in September 2010, after completing my BE in Information Technology, I was preparing to join a company in Noida on October 2, 2010. But a fall while walking down the stairs at home in Bada Ganpati locality fractured my spine and confined me to bed for the next seven years,” Pooja recounted. On the very day she was supposed to join her company, October 5, 2010, she had to undergo critical surgery in Indore instead.
