He was awarded the Padma Shri Award in 2012. ==Early life== Limba Ram was born in Saradeet Village (Jhadol tahsil, Udaipur district, Rajasthan state, India) on January 30, 1972. His family belongs to the Ahari tribe and because of poverty, Limba Ram relied on hunting birds like sparrows, partridges as well as other animals in the jungle with his indigenous bamboo bow ( and reed arrows. In 1987, one of his Uncles brought news that government would be conducting trials in the nearby village of Makradeo to train good archers. At this trial, 15-year-old Limba Ram and three other boys (among whom was future Arjuna Award winning Archer Shyam Lal) were spotted by selectors of the Sports Authority of India. Thereafter, all four boys were sent to New Delhi for the Special Area Games Programme, a four month training camp under the coaching of R. S. Sodhi.〔http://www.tribuneindia.com/2003/20030923/sports.htm#7〕〔http://www.mapsofindia.com/who-is-who/sports/limba-ram.html〕 The Akhil Bharatiya Vanavasi Kalyan Ashram, the RSS-linked organisation that works for tribal welfare, has claimed that it identified Limba Ram through its ''Ekalavya Khelkood Pratiyogita'' competition.〔(Aiming high - Vanavasi Kalyana Ashram is helping tribals achieve self-reliance ) - The Hindu, Saturday, February 25, 2006〕〔(Sangh Sandesh ), January-March 2012, Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh UK]〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Limba Ram」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
