Directorate of Sports

Both personality development and health maintenance are aided by sports participation

Sports Overview

Anybody can benefit from sports since they provide both physical and cerebral energy that can be used for action, creativity, and invention. The purpose of its organization is to use, maintain, or enhance physical ability and talents while offering spectators and participant’s amusement. Sports have a significant impact on all aspects of life and are an essential component of human existence.

Physical Director

Sports unite individuals of all ages, genders, and nationalities and play a significant role in every person's daily life. Our founder-chancellor has an amazing idea to transform SRMIST into India's Temple of Sports. The Directorate of Sports is making progress in realizing his objective. SRMIST has experienced unprecedented success in the past few years. Young athletes who have excelled in a variety of sports have taken home awards and trophies from local, national, and worldwide competitions. Our objective is for our teams to compete in more events, win medals, and bring honours to the university and the nation. I firmly think that playing sports fosters leadership, discipline, sacrifice, and collaboration.

The Directorate of Sports, SRMIST provides a range of courses via the Department of Physical Education & Sports Sciences and the Department of Yoga, in addition to the usual sports programs.
