The national institute of technology in Mangalore, Karnataka, held an all-India sports meet in February of this year. Volleyball, kabaddi, and yoga were among the events that took place. The chief guest at the meet was a Commonwealth gold medalist in weightlifting, Pushparaj Hegde. He encouraged the participants to engage in sports not only for their physical fitness, but also for their emotional wellbeing. He also said that the Union government's initiatives, like Khelo India and Fit India, aim to create a sense of team spirit, enhance analytical thinking, and teach leadership skills. The event is a great opportunity for young athletes to show their skills and competency in sports events, and to learn from the experiences of others. Nitk surathkal is grateful to the other NITS for sending their talented athletes, and we are confident that the event will be a success.
