Early life and background

Pramod Bhagat was born on 4 June 1988 in Hajipur, Vaishali district, Bihar. He grew up in a farming family; his parents are Kailash Bhagat and Kusum Devi. Pramod has a brother, Shekhar Bhagat, and two sisters, Chandan Devi and Kishuni Devi. He attended a local school in Noida and later studied at the Industrial Training Institute in Bhubaneswar, completing a B.Tech in electrical engineering.

As a child he enjoyed sport, but at the age of five he contracted polio which caused a permanent impairment to his left leg. Despite this setback and limited financial means during his early years, Pramod pursued athletics and developed a particular affinity for badminton, reportedly practising with a very modest second-hand racket.

Career

Pramod Bhagat is an Indian professional para-badminton player who competes for Team India. He made his international debut at the FESCPIC Games (now the Asian Para Games) in 2006 and later appeared on the world stage at the Para-Badminton World Championships in 2013. He plays left-handed and has competed in Paralympic Games, World Championships and Asian Para Games events in the SL3 classification.

Across his career he has collected multiple medals at the highest levels of para-badminton. Early international success came in 2013, when he won the world title in men’s doubles. He added further World Championship gold in men’s singles in 2015 and again in 2019, the latter edition in Basel where he won both singles and doubles titles. His continental results include medals at the Asian Para Games: bronze in 2014 and a gold in singles plus a silver in doubles at the 2018 edition in Indonesia.

A defining moment came at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games (held in 2021), where Pramod won the gold medal in men’s singles SL3. That victory marked a first for Indian badminton at the Paralympic Games and became a milestone in his career.

Pramod has worked with coaches including Shiba Prasad Das and Gaurav Khanna. His résumé also features multiple other international successes such as gold medals at the International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports (IWAS) World Games in 2019 and additional podium finishes at World Championships and Asian Para Games across several years.

Public profile

Pramod’s performances have been recognised with major national honours. He received the Arjuna Award in 2019 and was later named a recipient of the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award in 2021. In 2022 he was awarded the Padma Shri for his contributions to sport. After the Arjuna Award he was felicitated by Odisha’s chief minister with a cash prize.

Away from competition, Pramod speaks often about the inspirations in his sport, naming established Indian shuttlers as role models. He practices yoga regularly and is active in tree-planting and environmental awareness efforts. He has also appeared on the cover of Hindustan Times’ Brunch magazine.

Latest updates

Pramod represented India at the Tokyo Paralympics in 2021 and secured the men’s singles SL3 gold medal, dedicating the win to his parents and acknowledging the support he received from state and national authorities. His recent honours include the country’s top sports awards and continued visibility as one of para-badminton’s leading players.

Pramod remains unmarried and continues to be based out of Hajipur, Bihar, where his roots and early life began. He balances training and competition with interests such as reading and gardening, and remains a prominent figure in India’s para-sport landscape.
