Hi Vijaykumar,

That is great that you are wanting to become an umpire.

The best thing is to contact your National or State association.  They should have courses that you can attend to do this.  You would also need to complete some practical training as well.

You may find some interesting information on the ITTF site in the Umpiring section, http://www.ittf.com/_front_page/ittf4.asp?category=urc and in the link http://www.ittf.com/URC/PDF/Referee_Career_Dev.2013.pdf.
