The Rajasthan government has nominated Avani Lekhara, a gold medalist in the Tokyo Paralympics, as the state's brand ambassador for the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign. Mamta Bhupesh, the minister for women and child development, said on Tuesday that her department is delighted to name Lekhara as the campaign's host for the campaign.

Lekhara's engagement, according to Shreya Guha, senior secretary, women and child development department, would create an enabling environment in the society for the education of girls. Lekhara, 19, hails from Jaipur and is wheelchair-bound after she met with an accident in 2012. With an injured spinal cord, she was paralysed below her waist.

Chief minister Ashok Gehlot announced cash rewards for the three state players who won medals at the Tokyo event. Lekhara will be given ₹3 crores for winning gold in shooting, Devendra Jhajharia will get ₹2 crores for winning silver in javelin throw and Sunder Singh Gurjar will get ₹1 crore for winning bronze in the same event. The three players have already been appointed to the post of assistant conservator of forest in the state forest department.
