Dr. Archana Singh, a 47-year-old radiologist, has clinched a bronze medal in the 10m Air Rifle Master Women's event at the 68th National Shooting Championship held from December 24, 2025, to January 2, 2026. She achieved this distinction alongside notable athletes Anjali Bhagwat, who secured silver, and Olympian Tejaswini Sawant, who won gold.
Singh's journey into competitive shooting began unexpectedly a few years ago at a residential complex event. Her natural aptitude was quickly recognized by coaches from the Joydeep Karmakar Shooting Academy (JKSA). Despite her demanding schedule as a full-time government doctor, she has masterfully managed her time to pursue her passion.
Motivated by her husband, Singh initially practiced shooting once a week, gradually increasing her training frequency. She now advocates for a cultural shift in India, urging governments to promote sports not merely as a childhood activity but as a continuous, lifelong pursuit.
