This a sport where India has a lot of potential and it is just a matter of time till we establish ourselves as one of the best in the world. The Trust supports 9 archers of the recurve discipline. We have 5 girls and 4 boys. They are based in Bangalore and train at the Jain School. We chose this venue because the school has some of the best facilities and sports infrastructure in not only the country but it could be compared to any place in the world. We have given our archers the best of all facilities needed. We have also upgraded them to the best possible equipment and are taking care of everything from their nutrition, fitness to clothing and medical attention

The archers all train under Korean coach Mr. Mun Baek Woon and have shown great improvement since getting support from the Trust. They have qualified for the various world cup teams and we had four of our kids on the 2006 Asian Games team. Mr. Mangal Singh Champia who has been doing exceptionally well won a bronze in the Doha along with the men’s team. This was the first medal in archery in 26 years and makes us very proud we could contribute to the sport in some way.

In archery we have tried to get a good mix of archers in terms of age. We have a few archers who are seniors and will be giving some results right away like Chekorvolu Swuro, Mangal Singh Champia. We also have younger archers who will start producing results from next year. This way we should be competitive at all times keeping in mind our eventual goal for London 2012.
