Football, Rajiv Gandhi and karate kids

Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya is a government-run co-educational residential school in Bishnupur district, Manipur. It claims to have produced some notable students, considering the odds of getting good education in a state torn by insurgency, extortion and organized crime. The school admits students from Class IV to Class XII.

Manipur, apart from Kerala and West Bengal, takes football seriously.
