'Education has made me who I am today - it was because I went to school that I was chosen to train as an archer. Now I compete internationally, I travel the world.'
- Laxmirani Majhi, Archer

Laxmirani Majhi is an archer who competes in international level competitions for India. When Laxmi was young, her family knew the most important thing was for Laxmi to go to school; many girls in Laxmi's village did not go to school. Today, Laxmi has won so many archery competitions that she has been awarded the position of a cadet by the Tata Sports Academy, in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. Laxmi grew up in Bagula village, Ghatshila district in Jharkhand and she is 17 years old.
