Director - Sports
Sports play an important role in every human being’s day-to-day life and bring people together irrespective of their age, gender and nationality. Our Founder Chancellor has a great vision to make SRMIST as a Temple of Sports in India. Directorate of Sports is marching towards fulfilling his vision as a reality. Over the last few years, SRMIST has seen a lot of success like never before. Young achievers in various sports have won prizes and medals at various state, National and international level events. Our goal is to increase the participation of our teams in various competitions and win medals and bring laurels to the University and the country.
SRMIST is one of the few Universities in the country which encourages sports and games which has changed the lives of many young sports men and women. I strongly believe that sports help to inculcate teamwork, sacrifice, discipline and leadership qualities.
In addition to the regular sports activities, the Directorate of Sports, SRMIST offers a variety of courses through the Department of Physical Education & Sports Sciences and the Department of Yoga.
