Addressing the event, Atishi said the facility will be equipped with state-of-the-art target systems and advanced equipment and it would operate round the clock throughout the year.

She said that the facility will provide cadets with uninterrupted opportunities to practice and improve their skills. "I hope that the next Olympic medal will be won by one of our National Cadet Corps (NCC) cadets," the chief minister said referring to Olympians like Manu Bhaker.

Highlighting the challenges faced by aspiring athletes, she said, "Sports training is often very expensive and unaffordable for many. There are numerous talented youngsters whose parents cannot bear the costs of professional training." This facility will enable Delhi's sportspersons, especially those facing financial constraints, to receive quality training to pursue their dreams, Atishi added.
