Panipat (Haryana): India's 'Golden Boy' Neeraj Chopra yet again scripted history by clinching the coveted gold medal at the World Athletics Championship. Neeraj, who also has an Olympic gold medal to his credit apart from a gold medal in the Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games, made the country proud. His father Satish Chopra said that Neeraj's achievements were a result of his upbringing in a joint family.
Neeraj's father Satish Chopra told ETV Bharat that he has four brothers. "My father Dharam Singh had told me in my childhood that the four brothers should never be separated. It always remained in my mind and hence all four of us stayed together. The success of Neeraj Chopra is due to his upbringing in a joint family."

Satish Chopra also said that it is easy to break a single piece of wood but it is very difficult to break a bundle of wood. "My entire family operates on this principle. Neeraj has three uncles - Bhim Chopra, Sultan Chopra, and Surendra Chopra. Bhim Chopra is responsible for the upbringing of the children and their education and sports. Sultan takes care of the farming. Surendra is entrusted with some other responsibility. I meet the visitors and handle other responsibilities of the house," added Satish Chopra.
