In July 2026 the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) approved sweeping constitutional amendments to bring its structure into compliance with the National Sports Governance Act 2025. The reforms introduced a clearer governance framework, player‑welfare committees, a stricter code of conduct and formal dispute‑resolution mechanisms, aiming for greater transparency and accountability ahead of major competitions.

Following the reforms, early August 2026 saw NRAI launch two technical training programmes in Delhi. A four‑day National Electronic Scoring Target course qualified 33 Indian officials to operate electronic scoring systems, while a five‑day ISSF Shotgun Referee Course attracted participants from India, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka and Bahrain. The initiatives were presented as part of the association’s effort to build a robust pool of internationally certified officials in line with its newly restructured, player‑focused mandate.
