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

Delighted to announce that @VFSGlobal is opening a visa application centre in Bhubaneswar from 1st April’ 26.
The centre was much-needed in Bhubaneswar for providing world-class, convenient, time-effective and efficient visa facilitation services to people of Odisha who otherwise had to travel to Kolkata to meet their visa requirements. Commencement of visa facilitation from Bhubaneswar will save time and cost, boost international mobility and connectivity and also create local employment opportunities.
More ease-of-living is the motto of PM Modi’s Govt. Grateful to EAM @DrSJaishankar and CEO, VFS Global Group, Mr. Zubin Karkaria for considering my request for operationalising a visa application centre in Bhubaneswar.
