Dr Ketna Mehta had a successful career, and she was active in various fields of her choice. She decided to go Paragliding and on the last flight after a training of around 30 days, she met with an accident which changed her life forever. She had a spinal cord injury and was diagnosed as paraplegic. Her body down her waist carried no sensation to the brain and had no control of any functions or movement.
Her story is a story of commitment, family support, fight the odds with a smiling face, blaming no one, attributing fault to no one, coping with challenges, relying on family support, gathering people with same problems, and doing something for their betterment. Finding ways to make the lives of fellow affected persons like her a little better by organizing OPD, training, counselling, providing means of livelihood, wheelchairs suitable for movement. On the way she set up Nina Foundation under whose banner she carries on her activity relentlessly and with passion.
She is the story of a winner against all odds, is a story that should motivate all and will teach others that face the circumstances and win over the situation by sheer commitment.
