PUNE: In a significant achievement for Indian shooting, Pawan Singh has been re-elected to the prestigious Judges Committee of the International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF) for the fourth consecutive time. Singh, the only Indian member on the committee, continues to represent India at the highest level of global shooting governance.
The ISSF Judges Committee, responsible for the uniform application of shooting rules, conducting training courses for judges and jury members, and overseeing the approval of judge licenses, has seven members. Out of these, only three were re-elected this year, including Pawan Singh, along with Lan Hang of China and Nikola of Italy. Four new members were also elected during the ISSF elections held on November 28 in Rome.
Singh, a seasoned shooting coach based in India, has been instrumental in shaping the landscape of competitive shooting both nationally and internationally. He serves as the joint secretary of the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) and is a co-director at Gagan Narang’s Gun For Glory Academy. Singh’s election to the ISSF Judges Committee highlights his expertise and his ongoing contribution to the sport of shooting.
“I am deeply honored to continue representing India on the global stage through the ISSF Judges Committee,” said Singh. “This re-election is not only a personal milestone but also an opportunity to further strengthen India’s presence in international shooting sports. I look forward to working with my colleagues to help elevate the sport globally and ensure the fair and consistent application of shooting rules.”
Singh’s re-election follows a distinguished career of achievements, including being awarded medals by the ISSF for his role in organizing several international tournaments in India, including the World Cups, Asian Championships, and World Cup Finals since 2015. He was also appointed as the Result Timing Score (RTS) Jury for the Tokyo and Paris Olympic Games.
The ISSF Judges Committee meets annually to provide crucial guidelines for international shooting competitions and plays a key role in ensuring the smooth execution of events worldwide.
Pawan Kumar Singh’s continued leadership on this committee reinforces India’s growing influence in the international shooting sports arena and underscores his commitment to the development of the sport on a global scale.
