In 1973, the AAI conducted the first National Meet under FITA rules in New Delhi in which more than 50 archers participated. Since then the sport of archery has been going from strength to strength, thanks to the zealous efforts of the AAI.
In 2001-2002, in an effort to shake off the prevailing stagnation in Indian archery, the Archery Association of India decided to do away with the National camp system and encourage the individual academies and SAI centers to take up the mantle of training the archers.
The initiative has paid rich dividends as the new bunch of youngsters is making it big in the international stage and bringing laurels for the country.
