Payal Nag.
Daughter of a daily-wage mason from Odisha.
Electrocuted at the age of eight. Lost all four limbs.
And then, found a bow.
Spotted through her paintings by coach Kuldeep Vedwan, the same man who shaped world champion Sheetal Devi.
Defeated her idol Sheetal Devi at the World Para Archery Series Final in Bangkok, April, 2026
Whenever I am feeling low or sorry for myself I will look at these images of Payal & Sheetal again & remind myself what the words: Courage, Resilience & Positive thinking, really mean.
These champions are not just my #MondayMotivation.
They will be a source of motivation Every. Single. Day

Today, India has progressed from being the world’s 10th largest economy to the 4th. As members of the scientific fraternity, it is our responsibility to present a roadmap that will guide us to the top.
This roadmap must focus on exploring new frontiers, sectors and regions that remain untapped and which can add significant value, thereby enabling our journey from 4th place to 3rd, and ultimately to becoming the world’s number one economy.
