Veteran Indian shooting figures, including Raninder Singh and coach Jaspal Rana, have criticized the Khelo India initiative, claiming it fails to produce results and harms the junior program's effectiveness. They urge the return of the program to the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) to ensure future competitiveness, particularly for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. Rana also advocates for greater involvement of local experts like Abhinav Bindra over foreign coaches. The call comes despite India's successful performance at the Paris Games, where the shooting team won three bronze medals, breaking a 12-year medal drought.
