Aman, a 21-year-old freestyle wrestler, etched his name in Indian sports history. His bronze medal in the 57kg freestyle category made him the youngest-ever Olympic medallist from India. His victory contributed to India’s overall success, securing the nation’s sixth medal at the Paris Olympics.

In a commendable gesture, the Northern Railway Headquarters held a meeting to honour Aman. General Manager Shri Shobhan Chaudhuri presented a token of appreciation to the Olympian for his outstanding performance. Shri Sujit Kumar Mishra, Principal Chief Personnel Officer, recognized Aman’s achievement and elevated him to the role of OSD/Sports.

Aman’s journey exemplifies dedication, hard work, and perseverance. His success resonates as an inspiration for millions across the nation. Despite losing both parents at a young age, he continued to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
