Some Lesser Known Facts

Sita Sahu's smoking habits are unknown.
Sita Sahu's alcohol consumption is not disclosed.
She was born into a very poor family that struggled to provide three meals a day.
Despite her mental challenges, she never viewed herself as different from others.
On June 8, 2011, she visited the then Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chauhan, for tea alongside seven other children.
Returning from the 2011 Athens Special Olympics on July 6, 2011, she won two Bronze Medals for India in the 200m race and 1600m relay race.
During her time in Athens, her coach, Sajid Masood, noted a significant transformation in her confidence and social skills.
Due to financial constraints and lack of government support, she gave up running and started selling chaats and Gol Gappa for a living.
After media coverage exposed the neglect faced by Sita Sahu, the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) and the State Government provided financial assistance to her family.
The funds she received motivated her to pursue running again, benefiting her family economically and enabling her siblings to resume their education.
