Sports and games form an essential part in overall development of students in the college life. They help in the development of mental health and physical fitness of the body. Through participation in sports and games, a student gains various skills, experience and confidence that are helpful for developing their personality. Playing sports teaches lessons of life, such as teamwork, accountability, self-confidence, responsibility, and self-discipline. Sports prepare the students to face the challenges of life. They enhance physical and mental abilities of students and help them achieve the goals of their life. In view of the importance of sports and games in shaping students’ personality, health and fitness, our department gives emphasis to the co curricular activities of the students along with the curricular activities. Every department in the university is having faculty in charges for this purpose. Regular and part time Physical Directors were appointed in the colleges to train and guide the students in the physical education activities. Playgrounds equipped with different playing courts are available in colleges to cater the needs of student’s physical activities to balance their busy academic lives. Indoor and Outdoor gyms were also established in the premises of all colleges/hostels of the University for the benefit of the students. Every year, Department and University conducts intercollegiate sports, games, cultural and literary meets to the college students to encourage and to bring out the sports, games, cultural and literary talents of the students.
