Dear Students and Faculty,

I am delighted to extend my warmest greetings to all members of affiliated /associated / maintained colleges of our University and as well as the Universities associated with Association of Indian Universities. As the Director of Sports and Youth Programme, it is my privilege to announce exciting initiatives aimed at fostering a vibrant sports culture within our university and the colleges affiliated with us. Sports and Youth activities are integral to holistic education and personal development. They not only promote physical fitness but also instill values of
teamwork, discipline, and resilience. At our university, we are committed to providing ample opportunities for students to excel in various sports and extracurricular activities.
In the upcoming academic year, we are focused on enhancing our sports and cultural programs across all colleges affiliated with the university. Our goal is to support and uplift every sportsperson and cultural activist, from beginners to elite competitors, by providing state-of-the-art facilities, expert coaching, and a nurturing environment. It is my sincere appeal to all the students to actively participate in sports and youth activities and tournaments / cultural programmes to be organized throughout the year. These events not only showcase your talent but also strengthen the bond of camaraderie within our university community. I invite you to visit our dedicated sports and youth programme section on the university website for updates on events, registrations, and other pertinent information. Together, let us embrace the spirit of sportsmanship and excellence as we embark on this exciting journey.
Wishing you all a successful and fulfilling academic year ahead.
