Beyond Badminton Court-Alina Kwatra’s journey of resilience, mentorship and sustainable contribution

New Delhi [India] October 23: Alina Kwatra, an extraordinary junior badminton player from India, has become a beacon of hope and inspiration, particularly in her local community. She suffered with a knee injury some time after winning gold in CBSE Nationals Badminton Tournament, in under-19 Mixed Doubles event. She also won a Silver as her team was runner-up in under-19 Girls category. Despite facing the challenging setback of the injury that has temporarily sidelined her competitive career, Alina, student of Modern School, Barakhamba Road, New Delhi, has not allowed this injury to deter her passion for the sport or her commitment to nurturing the next generation of badminton enthusiasts. Instead, she has embraced her circumstances, turning adversity into an opportunity to uplift and empower young players.

Alina along with her twin brother Aarav Kwatra, who is also an extremely talented badminton player, contributes towards sustainability by volunteering for a green initiative Smiling Tree founded by her environmentalist father Dr Mukesh Kwatra. The twin duo have together participated in various plantation drives, anti plastic drives, environment awareness campaigns and promote eco-friendly lifestyle. Just recently, they collaborated with Delhi Police to transform the Gulabi Bagh Police Station into a greener and more eco-friendly space. They installed three Vertical Gardens made out of recycled used plastic bottles and planted a variety of flora, including scores of rose flowers, hibiscus, and plants such as Harshingar, Areca palm, money plant, and plumeria pudica, enhancing the Police Station’s aesthetic and environmental value.

Alina’s journey in badminton has been nothing short of remarkable. From a young age, she demonstrated an innate talent for the sport, quickly rising through the ranks in junior competitions. Her agility on the court, combined with sharp tactical thinking, earned her accolades and recognition at various state and national tournaments. However, an unexpected knee injury forced her to reassess her immediate future in competitive badminton. Rather than succumbing to despair, Alina chose to channel her energy into mentoring young children who share her love for badminton.
