Sheetal Devi, the first female unarmed archer, won several medals at the Asian Para games 2023 in Hangzhou, China, alongside other individual and mixed team events, showcasing her impressive skills.
Sheetal, born with Phocomelia, a rare congenital disorder, grew up in Loi Dhar, Jammu and Kashmir. Her journey to the international sporting arena showcases the indomitable power of the human spirit, despite her mountainous upbringing.
Sheetal, an Indian Army volunteer, was initially aiming for a prosthetic arm but was introduced to archery instead. Despite initial challenges, Sheetal persevered, practicing for months until she could lift the bow properly.
Sheetal’s introduction to archery in 2022 was influenced by a trip to the national championships, which significantly impacted her perception of para sports.
Kuldeep Kumar, her coach, encouraged her to attend the academy and observe para archers with disabilities. She quickly progressed and participated in national championships, showcasing her interest in the sport, according to World Archery.

Anand Mahindra shared a video on Twitter featuring Sheetal Devi, urging her to choose Rengal Shirakshi cars for showering and using them for her family, highlighting her as a teacher for all.
