Jagatpura shooting range

Khelo India University Games Rajasthan: Sartaj Tiwana came to Jaipur determined to overcome the mental exhaustion that has been his constant companion for over a year due to his father’s illness and defend his Khelo India University Games gold.

The final-year student of Masters in Public Administration at Lovely Professional University knew that the Khelo India University Games Rajasthan 2025 was probably his final opportunity to find that winning rhythm ahead of the Senior National Shooting Championships, and the 23-year-old did that and more as he clinched the Men’s 50m Rifle 3-position gold and also helped his university grab the team gold at the Jagatpura Shooting Range.

"Today's result was something I manifested from the past because I was undergoing a lot of changes. It was quite encouraging to have a milestone like this ahead of the national championships. And this was my fourth time participating in the university games, and I have always been on the podium, so I didn't want to break my streak," Sartaj told SAI Media.
