  1. Prabhat Ashram and archery training-The Meerut ashram is located near village Bhola-Jhaal-Tikri on the Meerut-Baghpat highway. The ashram on the bank of the Ganga canal boasts of a gym, a training ground with generator backup to practice under lights.

    The Meerut centre was started in 1994 and the girls joined in later in 2000. The facilities in Meerut were set up with the help of the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and received financial assistance as well as coaching guidance.

  2. Prabhat Ashram, said the methodical lifestyle in general at the ashram is apt. "They do yoga and dhyan as a part of daily routine which we learnt towards the end of our career. The archers from the Gurkuls are mentally tough from an early stage," said Limba.

    The Gurkul Prabhat for the boys and at Chotipura for the girls adopted archery aiming to produce a medal-winner in Olympics after India drew a blank at the 1992 edition in Barcelona. Today one bad shot can ruin the medal hopes and that's why the thrust on mental toughness at the Gurukul comes in handy. Former Olympian Sanjeeva Kumar Singh, from the Tata Archery Academy in Jamshedpur, adds: "Mental toughness counts for 50 per cent of your success in archery."

    The Meerut ashram is located near village Bhola-Jhaal-Tikri on the Meerut-Baghpat highway. The ashram on the bank of the Ganga canal boasts of a gym, a training ground with generator backup to practice under lights. There are 72 brahmacharyas (students) enrolled at the ashram out of which 15 are archery trainees under one coach — former international Mahender. In Chotipura there are 12 girl trainees out of 100 with ex-India archer Laxmi Priya as their coach.
