Chivalry is not dead yet and people keep on proving that by doing things that are unexpectedly awesome. Currently, a lot of hype has occurred in our country towards sports and the fever will go high and high.

Thanks to the few victories that we got in Olympics, people are moving towards the betterment of sports in India. We all know how our athletes in Olympics faced issues due to lack of assistance by the staff.

I don’t think the same will repeat with the Paralympians.

All because of this 16 year old boy who just created an assistance app for the Paralympians in Rio.
