New Delhi: The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) has launched a nationwide grassroots programme to introduce 7,50,000 new school and college students to shooting before the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
As part of its 75th anniversary celebrations, NRAI unveiled its special 75-year commemorative logo and launched an NRAI Athlete App, which will serve as a one-stop ecosystem for athlete management.
Indian top shooters, including Double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker and World Championships medallist Akhil Sheoran, praised the initiative to take the sport to schools and colleges.
NRAI said the grassroots drive will start across multiple states and districts in collaboration with institutions such as Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS), Universities, school boards, and state associations.
The initiative is designed to create awareness and participation at the grassroots level, helping identify and inspire the next generation of Indian shooters.
