A resolute personality from mountains, Parshuram Awardee Johny Chaudhary: A case study

Abstract

A case study is an in-depth examination, often undertaken over time of a single case – such as a policy, program, intervention site, implementation process or participant. Much of Freud's work and theories were developed through individual case Studies. In a case study, nearly every aspect of the subject’s life and history is analyzed to seek patterns and causes of behavior. The hope is that learning gained from studying one case can be generalized to many others. The research is done in order to analyze the contribution of “Parshuram Award” winner Johny Chaudhary to the promotion of Indian wrestling, to society and to know him as an individual personality. Data for the study was derived from primary and secondary sources. Standard questionnaire was designed under supervision of experts to collect personal and professional information for the study. The study will be a valuable addition to the professional literature in sports and physical education. This research also provides worthwhile information in context to the hurdles and struggles faced by sports persons and will be significant to motivate new sports generation.
