Dear Colleagues,

It is a pleasure to welcome you all for the meeting. I present to you, my report on key activities of Archery Association of India during the period 1 st November 2014 to 29 th February 2016.

Foremost, we congratulate Mr Vijay Kumar Malhotra on being appointed as President of the All India Council of Sports (Rank of Minister of State) Government of India. A feeling of pride and joy on one hand and some sadness on the other, as he had to resign as our President after years of resolve and dedicated service for the cause of Archery. We will miss him and wish to thank him for his leadership and guidance that has helped Indian Archery grow from its infancy to a position at the pinnacle of World Archery.

We are now recognized all over the world as a force to reckon with in Archery. Our Archers in Recurve and Compound division, both men and women in the senior, junior and sub-junior categories are considered among the best. Our Coaches are being sought after by various countries, having seen the performance of our Archers. Our Judges have been recognized as being very competent and have been given assignments at major World events and have been bestowed with important responsibilities. Our Technical Officials and Events team have conducted tournaments which are world class and World Archery has appreciated the work done by India. All this has been made possible under the leadership and guidance of Mr Malhotra and due to the tremendous efforts put in by our Archery family. We will always look to him for guidance, and wish him the very best in his tenure as President of All India Council of Sports.

As per our Constitution, in the absence of the President, the Senior Vice President will act for the President. Accordingly Mr Tarlochan Singh took over as the Acting President and I thank him for his guidance and help.

We congratulate Ms Deepika Kumari on her name being announced for the ‘Padma Shree’ award by the Government of India. Her achievements as an Archer at this young age are phenomenal and we are sure that her performances in the years to come will make India proud. We wish her the very best.

We congratulate Naib Subedar Sandeep Kumar, our Compound Archer, for being conferred the ‘Arjuna Award’ for his achievements. He is the 14 th Arjuna Awardee from the Archery discipline, and the 2 nd Compound Archer.

National Child Awards were presented by the Hon President of India to 30 Children in different fields including the following five Archers for exceptional achievement, at a ceremony in Rashtrapati Bhawan in the presence of Union Minister for Women & Child Development.

1) Suchitra Thourangbam (Manipur) - 14 years 2) Gora Ho (Jharkhand) - 14 years 3) K.Jyoshna (Andhra Pradesh) - 13 years 4) Anjali Kumari (Andhra Pradesh) - 10 years 5) Vijender Kumar (Haryana) - 14 years

Congratulations and best wishes to all the Archers. I believe that these Awards will prove to be a source of encouragement and motivation for budding Archers of the country.

I wish to thank all our Executive Members, especially our Treasurer and the Chairman, Conveners and Members of our various Committees who have always come forward and helped. I thank the Presidents, Secretaries and each one of you from our Member States / Units for your support at all times and I am confident that together, we will be able to achieve higher goals that we set ourselves.

I convey my gratitude to the Technical Officials and Volunteers for the help extended in making all our sporting events and activities a success. My sincere thanks to our staff at the AAI office, who continue to put in hard work to cope with the ever increasing work load.

We appreciate the support extended by TATA Sons and TATA Steels. However, due to certain matters affecting their industry, they were unable to continue to extend sponsorship support. We hope with a turn in fortunes of the industry, they will come back to support us. We wish them the very best.

The Ministry of Skill Development, Entrepreneurship, Youth Affairs and Sports, and the Sports Authority of India have provided us immense cooperation and support, without which we could not have achieved success.

I thank the Indian Olympic Association for their guidance and help whenever required.

I wish to thank the print and electronic media for giving our events and tournaments extensive coverage.

The period under review has seen good progress due to dedicated work by Members of the Archery family. We have also had some anxious times when our Vice President Mr. K.S. Kang fell seriously ill, and our Treasurer Mr. Virender Sachdeva met with an accident. With their determination and by the grace of God they have recovered well and are back in our midst. We however had the sad demise of our colleague Mr. Rathin Datta, after a prolonged battle with cancer. He represented India as an Archer and then served Archery as an International Judge and as a Competition Manager at several International meets including the Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games. The AAI family pays homage to late Mr. Rathin Datta.

The Archery Association of India is at a crucial stage, when there is a need to take some important decisions that will help us move forward in the years to come.

The following pages give a month-wise account of key activities during the period under review.

Archery Association of India had planned to field its 33 member team for the World Archery Youth Championships at Yangton, South Dakota, USA from 8 th to 15 th June, 2015. They were scheduled to depart on 5 th June.

It was very unfortunate and disappointing that 19 US visa applications were rejected on the ground that applicants have not demonstrated that they have strong ties in India that indicate that they will return after a temporary visit to the United States. The reason for not issuing visa was shocking. AAI had persistently followed up the matter with the US Embassy in New Delhi and had requested the Minister of External Affairs and Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, for help in obtaining US Visa for the Indian team. In addition, AAI had asked for help from World Archery and the US, LOC who in turn sought help from US Olympic Association.
