Vedanta Empowers Young Archers

Sanjay Majhi, a young archer from Vedanta Sports Program, has won a bronze medal in the Indian Round category at the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Senior National Archery Championship 2024. This is a significant moment for Odisha, as it marks the state’s 21-year wait for a senior category national medal in archery. Sanjay’s achievement is a result of Vedanta Lanjigarh’s support and the company’s Sports Program, which aims to empower local youth and provide opportunities for them to shine nationally and globally. The program, launched in 2018, has supported over 300 athletes, with 110 currently receiving professional training in archery and karate. Vedanta Aluminium believes in nurturing young talent, especially from underprivileged communities, and has trained over 500 youths in various sports.
