IRDF Funded School Student Wins a Spot on the India Team for the 2008 Beijing Olympics

Fremont, CA (PRWEB) July 2, 2008 -- Ms. Pranitha Vardhineni, a student from the RDF School - Kalleda Village, Warangal District, Andhra Pradesh represented India and won a Silver medal at the World Junior Archery Championship in Mexico in 2006. Mr. A. Raju also from the same RDF school won the Bronze medal in the team event at the competition.

The two students have consistently excelled in the state and national archery competitions, while they were still in school. Seventeen (17) year-old Ms. Vardhineni was earlier placed in first place at the National Ranking Competition in Calcutta and Raju stood second. Ms. Vardhineni and Mr. Raju are products of the archery program started five years ago at the RDF school and coached by Prabhir Das, a former national archery champion. The school has since produced other young archers who went on to compete in state and national level championships.

RDF, a non-profit, provides highly subsidized education in rural India along with free mid-day meals to all students. In addition to the archery program the rigorous academic curriculum maintained by the school helped two students achieve the 1st and 2nd place at the regional level for the 10th class board exams in the past year. Ms. Vardhineni's and Mr. Raju's achievements are even more remarkable given the meager background they come from. Majority of these families survive on farming with an income of a $1 per day!
