Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo Elected President Of NRAI
Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo: Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo has been elected as the president of the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) after securing a 36-21 victory over VK Dhall in the polls held at the Constitution Club of India in Delhi on Saturday.
Kalikesh, a former Member of Parliament from Odisha, had been managing the day-to-day affairs of the NRAI since last year following the resignation of long-serving president Raninder Singh.
Raninder Singh stepped down in April 2023 in compliance with the National Sports Code (NSC) issued by the Sports Ministry, which mandates that heads of national sports federations (NSFs) cannot hold office for more than 12 years. Raninder had completed his term from December 2010 to December 2022, making him ineligible for further continuation.
