The meeting highlighted the Prime Minister’s continued support for promoting diverse sports in India beyond cricket. Ram Charan praised PM Modi’s dedication to athletics, emphasizing how his guidance would help elevate archery’s status globally and encourage more Indians to take up the sport.

Historic Tournament Structure

Launched in 2025 by the Archery Association of India, the Archery Premier League features six competitive teams: Prithviraaj Yodhas, Mighty Marathas, Kakatiya Knights, Rajputana Royals, Chero Archers, and Chola Chiefs. Each squad comprises eight archers—four men and four women—including both recurve and compound specialists.

The actor concluded his message by congratulating all participating athletes and expressing hope that the league would inspire many more people to embrace archery for its mental and physical health benefits. This initiative marks a significant milestone in Indian sports, bringing professional structure and visibility to a traditionally underrepresented discipline in the country’s sporting landscape.
