“The NRAI should have a ROBUST WORKING RELATIONSHIP with the Services. It should also use the world class facilities of the AMU in Mhow and consider the possibility of holding skill development camps there, away from any distractions. The Services have over the years provided many shooters to the Indian team and this relationship has to be tapped and enhanced.”
After due deliberation, the four-member review committee that identified the reasons for the shooting debacle at the Rio Games has come up with the following 20 recommendations that may help the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) to train its team better for future sports meets.
1. The NRAI should have a competent person as a point of contact who is capable of dealing with the stakeholders ensuring that everyone is on the same page, leading to effective monitoring.
2. The federation needs to hire competent coaches. It needs to start grooming former shooters with a long term vision. The sanctity of the national camp must be restored. The camp has to be a skill development one and cannot be confused with predeparture camps. The NRAI will have to start taking ownership of the camps and its athletes. It cannot be outsourced to SAI.
3. The NRAI should work with all the agencies (providing sponsorship to athletes) and ensure there is no overlap of resources. The goal is the same.
4. The NRAI should have a robust working relationship with the Services. It should also use the world class facilities of the AMU in Mhow and consider the possibility of holding skill development camps there, away from any distractions. The Services have over the years provided many shooters to the Indian team and this relationship has to be tapped and enhanced.
