Vennam Jyothi Surekha team win silver and bronze at Archery World Cup

Jyothi Surekha Vennam was instrumental in India's compound team clinching two medals at the Archery World Cup.

It’s been an eventful year so far for Jyothi Surekha Vennam, one of India’s best compound archers. Last month, she teamed up with Abhishek Verma to win bronze at the Archery World Cup (Stage 1) in Shanghai. Barely two weeks later, she announced that she would go on an indefinite hunger strike in her hometown Vijayawada, due to the alleged delay in payment of Rs 1 crore promised to her by the Andhra Pradesh government, after she received the Arjuna Award for 2017. The 21-year-old, however, called off the strike after receiving assurances from government officials. The off-field distraction did little to dampen Jyothi’s spirits though, especially in the run-up to the ongoing World Cup (Stage 2) in Antalya.

The young archer continued her impressive form and found the cool and windy climes in Antalya much to her liking. Consequently, she was instrumental in India’s compound team clinching two medals at the showpiece event at this pristine beachside town. First up on Friday, she combined with Divya Dhayal and Muskan Kirar to win silver in the women’s team event. They went down to Chinese Taipei 228-231 in a close final.

Jiwanjot Singh, the coach of the compound team told that Jyothi’s role in the middle was crucial. “Her presence definitely helped, because others were relatively inexperienced, while Jyothi was in good form and had won a medal for us at the last World Cup. So, she knew what was expected from her in this important match.”

Winning these medals will not be the only takeaways for Jyothi. On a personal level, she also broke the individual national record during the qualification round, where she scored a stunning 706 (out of 720).

In doing so, she even bettered the personal best of Abhishek Verma’s 705 he had achieved in this tournament. “She was off to a phenomenal start here. Her personal best put her in second spot in the individual rankings,” Singh said. From winning three medals from the two World Cups, breaking the individual national record, and then climbing to the second spot in rankings, 2018 just keeps getting better for the archer from Vijayawada. Her team will be hoping that she carries this form into the Asian Games, which begins in over two months.

A road named after Veerasamy Naidu in Singapore

Veerasamy Road - Little India/ Singapore Veerasamy Road was renamed twice in its history; it was originally called Inche Lane, and was renamed Jalan Tambah in 1910. In 1927, the road was renamed again as Veerasamy Road, in honour of Dr N. Veerasamy Naidu (1865-1926), one of Singapore’s first Indian doctors and a leader in the local Indian community. Dr N Veerasamy Naidu was born in 1864. He was the son of Narayanasamy Naidu and Ramanuja Ammal. He learned Tamil from the age of four from his grandfather, Kuppusamy Naidu. He studied English at the Raffles School in Singapore and first worked at the lawyer’s office of Mr Cook. Unsatisfied in his job and drawn to the study of medicinal herbs, he decided to pursue an education in medical science and eventually worked in a hospital owned by Govindasamy Naidu. He set up his own clinic called Indian Dispensary in Rochor Road and derived effective scientific and traditional treatments for a variety of new diseases. He was the Presid...

G.K. Devarajulu The textile city Architect of Coimbatore

The brothers who contributed substantially to the industrialisation of Coimbatore are G.K. Devarajulu and G.K. Sundaram . The sons of cotton merchant G.Kuppusamy Naidu, who also had a ginning unit, both evinced immense capability. Devarajulu, born in 1911, was a man with appetite for risks. He set up the Lakshmi Mills at the age of just 21. As the machinery for the cotton units were imported from Europe under the impression that those from Japan were substandard, Devarajulu visited the factory in Japan to study whether the machinery would suit Indian requirements. Consequently all the machinery for his unit were imported from Japan. He also introduced the administrative system he found good in Japanese units. When Devarajulu and Mr. Sundaram joined Textool as shareholders in 1940, the company produced its first ring frame. Devarajulu joined hands with R.Venkataswamy Naidu of Peelamedu to set up the South India Viscose for which he imported m...
