About Academy

Joydeep received many good wishes and encouragement. But what struck him at the core during a conference in Harrow Hall, London, was a scathing question by an NRI about his contribution to the next generation of Shooting Sport to which he didn’t have an answer. Back in India, the question haunted him all along but he was preparing for 2014 Asian & Commonwealth Games. In 2015, finally, he made up his mind and with many well-wishers pouring in with support and encouragement his dream Training Academy “Joydeep Karmakar Shooting Academy” or JKSA as lovingly we call it, was born. The struggle to set it up was huge, it was more uphill to arrange for expensive equipment and range set up so that it can cater to the basic to advance level shooters alike.

The only goal was to give the next generation shooters, what Joydeep didn’t get in his younger years. The city of Kolkata welcomed JKSA with warm acceptance, and their journey began. 2016 saw a phenomenal enthusiasm from the youth of Kolkata to take up Shooting Sport, as they were getting a state of the art shooting range and latest training equipment right there at JKSA spread across Kolkata. Student shooters came pouring in from various states as well, and a significant milestone was achieved in the 1st year when JKSA won the maximum number of medals at the Bengal Harihar Bannerjee Championships.

JKSA has hosted Netaji Subhash State Games 2016 and also organized Bengal School Championships 2016 & 2017 at New Town School range. The tournament was acknowledged by many as the best shooting event ever in Bengal. Organizing SHOOTATHON 2019 was another feather in the cap of JKSA , where shooters of International repute including 3 Olympians and 2 Commonwealth Games medalist took part. For the first time Bangladesh with their decorated Olympian Abdulla Hell Baki took part in it.  where  JKSA has trained 3 foreign citizens & hosted over 15 shooters from various states, including India Team member and youth National Champion Manini Kaushik of Rajasthan. JKSA has been highly praised by Olympian Ayonika Paul and Olympic Gold Quest Officials who visited the range and training facility in early 2017. Senior Coach, Monojit Karmakar who is the first “Coaches Excellence Program” CEP ( Olympic Gold Quest) graduate from Eastern India and other Experienced Coaches and trainers JKSA cruises along with steady escalating performance in State, National and International Level. Recently JKSA has been named in the Top 10 Sports Academies in India by The Bridge and Kreedon.

JKSA is also proud to have a spectrum of technically superior coaches, trainers & physical instructors who work tirelessly to achieve perfection. JKSA is an officially affiliated unit of West Bengal Rifle Association ( WBRA)and has the credit of fielding the biggest Air Weapon team in State Championships and School games winning the 2019 Presidents Cup and winning Overall Champions Trophy in 2019 State Championships.Now we have won all the possible Overall Champion’s Trophy in each of the tournaments conducted in West Bengal including a record 4 times Over-All Champions of the State Championships.
