 “This collaboration marks a new chapter in the sporting history of Meghalaya” : Conrad K Sangma, Chief Minister

Shillong, July 8: With an ideal environment for the sports of shooting, a tripartite agreement was signed on Tuesday to establish a structured roadmap for developing world-class shooting infrastructure in the state.

The agreement between National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), Shooting Association of Meghalaya, and Government of Meghalaya aims at implementing coaching and training programmes, identifying and nurturing young talent from grassroots to elite levels.

“This collaboration marks a new chapter in the sporting history of Meghalaya. We are proud to partner with NRAI in building a robust ecosystem that empowers our youth to dream big in shooting sports,” said chief minister Conrad K Sangma while hailing the landmark initiative.

The agreement also reflects a broader commitment to integrating Meghalaya into the national and international shooting sports ecosystem.

Hailing the forward-thinking approach of Meghalaya government, NRAI president Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo said, “The Northeast has always had immense sporting potential. This partnership will lay the foundation for Meghalaya to become a shooting powerhouse in the years to come.”

“As per the MoU, NRAI will host one open India championship annually which would be a huge boost to the economy of Meghalaya as over 4,000 athletes would come for the one month of championships at their own cost,” he added.

The MoU outlines joint responsibilities in infrastructure development, technical training, equipment access, and hosting future competitions in the state.

NRAI secretary general K Sultan Singh and SAM president John F Kharshiing were also present on the occasion.
