Droupadi Murmu India's 1st tribal woman
President Murmu's story is nothing short of inspiring: she's India's first tribal woman and youngest person ever to become president.
Born in a Santhal family in Odisha, she was the first girl from her village to finish school, and went on to study political science and economics,
and before becoming President, she served as the ninth Governor of Jharkhand from 2015 to 2021.
