With a number of international tournaments lined up in the coming months, the NRAI is keen on having proven coaches for its junior shooters.
"The government has approved the proposal for recruiting coaches for the junior teams and the appointments will be done soon," NRAI secretary Rajiv Bhatia said today.
The junior shooters have been delivering the goods at international events in recent years and the NRAI wants to give them the best of coaching before they graduate to the senior level.
