Chandrapur to Get International-Standard Archery Academy In a significant development for sports infrastructure in eastern Maharashtra, the state government has approved the establishment of an international-standard archery academy at the Sports Complex in Visapur village, Ballarpur taluka, Chandrapur district. The initiative, spearheaded by BJP MLA Sudhir Mungantiwar, aims to provide aspiring archers from Chandrapur, Gadchiroli, and other tribal-dominated regions with access to world-class training facilities and structured coaching programs. The decision marks a major step toward enhancing sports opportunities for young athletes in these areas, eliminating the need for them to relocate to larger cities for professional development. The proposal, which received administrative approval from the state government, will be managed under the Tribal Development Department. Scheduled Tribe students will be given priority for enrollment, reflecting the government's commitment to addressing the unique needs of tribal communities. The academy is expected to offer cutting-edge training equipment and expert guidance, aligning with global standards to nurture talent and compete internationally. Chandrapur and Gadchiroli have long been recognized as hubs for producing skilled archers, with a rich tradition of athletic excellence. The new academy is poised to build on this legacy by providing systematic training and resources to further elevate the region's sporting capabilities. Mungantiwar expressed gratitude to Tribal Development Minister Ashok Uike and Chandrapur guardian minister Ashok Uike for their support in advancing the project. The initiative underscores the government's focus on bridging regional disparities in sports infrastructure and fostering talent in underserved areas.#chandrapur #sudhir_mungantiwar #visapur_village #ballarpur_taluka #tribal_development_department
