About The Association

Built To Train Future Champions In Alappuzha

The Alappuzha District Rifle Association, based at St. Michael's College, is affiliated with the Kerala State Rifle Association and operates a national-level shooting facility for structured sport and competitive training.

The foundation stone was laid on January 27 at 9:00 AM by Honourable Minister for PWD and Registration, Sri G. Sudhakaran, at an event presided over by District Collector and Club President Sri S. Suhas IAS.

Designed as a high-performance sporting hub, the range supports aspiring Olympians and responsible firearm enthusiasts through modern infrastructure, disciplined coaching, and a clear athlete development pathway.

This vision became reality through the untiring efforts of Secretary Sri Kiran Marshal, along with executive and patron members who delivered the project in a remarkably short timeframe.
