Mona Agarwal (born 8 November 1987)[1] is an Indian para shooter from Rajasthan. She competes in women's 10m air rifle SH1 category. She qualified to represent India at the 2024 Summer Paralympics at Paris.[2] She won a quota place for the Paris Paralympics winning gold at the WSPS Para Shooting World Cup at New Delhi in March 2024.[3] She won a bronze medal at the 2024 Summer Paralympics.[4]

Early life

Agarwal is born in Sikar, Rajasthan. She took up shooting in December 2021 after trying different other sports including volleyball. Her husband, Ravindra Chaudhary, a former wheelchair basketball player, suffered brain injury in an accident, and is under rehab at home. She got a polio attack when she was nine months old.[2] She shifted to Jaipur after marriage.[5] Due to stigma against girls, she could not complete her schooling. After two elder sisters, her parents wanted a boy but Mona was an 'unwanted' child in the conservative family. But her maternal grandmother, Geetha Devi, supported her.[5] She has a son, Avik and a daughter Aarvi.

Career

Agarwal made her international debut at the World Cup in Osijek, Croatia in July 2023.[5] After the Delhi gold, she won another gold at the Para World Cup in Changwon, Korea in April 2024.[6]
