Mary Kom will be the chef de mission for the Summer Games, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) announced. Gagan Narang has been appointed to head the shooting village operations.
The Olympic bronze medalist's academy, Gun For Glory has been completely submerged in rain water.
Equipment worth Rs 1.3 crore have been damaged in the rains, the shooter informed.
Rain water is being pumped out from the academy.
Recipient of Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award and Olympic medallist, Gagan Narang in an exclusive interview with WION's Sports Editor, Digvijay Singh Deo, spoke on a lot of things ranging from the life in lockdown, postponement of Tokyo Olympics, financial struggles of sporting organisations, the impact of lack of live action on young shooters, his future goals and more.
The 36-year-old had earlier expressed his desire to represent India at the Olympics for the fifth time.
Olympic medallist Gagan Narang made a fine comeback to the 10m air rifle event as he combined with young Pooja Ghatkar to win the mixed team silver medal in the Grand Prix of Liberation international shooting competition in Pilsen, Czech Republic on Sunday.
Chain finished fourth with a score of 204.8 points in the final round. Gagan was second from bottom in the eight-man final with 142.3.
Shooter Gagan Narang finished the qualifying round in the third position with 617 points.
India won two more medals on Day 6 of CWG 2018 to take their tally to 11 gold, four silver and six bronze.
The trend for India from four years ago at the Commonwealth Games (CWG) may continue at Gold Coast 2018, with wrestling and shooting expected to be the chief source of gold in India's medals tally.
Top Indian shooters Jitu Rai, Gagan Narang and Apurvi Chandela were on Tuesday named in the country's 27-member squad for the coming Commonwealth Games to be held in Gold Coast, Australia.
India also bagged three team silver medals in each of the three air rifle events.
Narang finished second in the men's 50m rifle prone event, with his compatriot Swapnil Suresh Kusale settling for bronze and Dane Sampson of Australia winning gold.
Both Gagan and compatriot Sanjeev Rajput sailed through their elimination rounds on day three and will shoot in the qualification round on Sunday.
Abhinav Bindra recommended mixed-gender team events for the Olympic Games
Indian shooters proved to be an epic failure in a disastrous Rio Olympic Games as the 12-member team, with the exception of Bindra, failed miserably to live up to the sky-high expectations.
Russian Sergey Kamenskiy set a new Olympic record to secure the top qualifying spot, with a score of 1184, including 67 inner 10s.
One more victory tonight, over US star Venus and her Indian-origin partner Rajeev in the semis will ensure India a silver medal while a defeat would give Sania and Bopanna a chance to fight for the bronze.
Sania and Bopanna entered the semi-finals of the mixed doubles tennis event by defeating Andy Murray and Heather Watson of Britain in straight sets.
It was particularly disappointing for Narang, who was placed as high as 4th at one stage.
India's dismal show at the Rio Olympics 2016 continued as the country is still waiting for its first medal after three days.
