In India, Girl Stars Show that Determination and Education are Keys to Success

Laxmirani Majhi, 17, also known as Laxmi, is an international-level archer and a student at the Tata Sports Academy in Jamshedpur, India. Laxmi is also one of Indias Girl Stars, young women who are breaking away from socio-economic discrimination to achieve success.

Living in a poor village where many girls did not attend school, Laxmis parents knew that an education would be an important factor in improving her life, so they made her schooling a priority.

Education has made me who I am – it was only because I went to school that I got a chance to be selected to train as an archer. Now I compete internationally and travel the world. School gave me this. I thank my parents for sending me to school, says Laxmi.
