About

The Department of Physical Education and Sports has consistently brought great distinction and pride to our institution. Our remarkable sporting achievements remain unparalleled by any other educational institution. Over the years, we have nurtured and produced over 100 national-level sports stars, including renowned athletes like Sanjo Devi, Pushpa Thakur, Nutan, Ritta, Manju, Alka, Sumna Devi, Neelam, Jyoti, Dinesh, Vikas, Seema, Bindu, Pankaj Mankotia, Kritika, Manorama, Reeta, Rishu, Kanchan, and many more. Numerous students have proudly represented Himachal Pradesh in national championships and the All-India Inter-University Championships.

Our dedicated approach to sports promotion has consistently led us to secure the HPU Overall Trophy on multiple occasions. From the moment students choose Physical Education as their subject and begin their interactions with the sports department, we prioritize addressing their comprehensive needs and interests. Exceptional performers in athletics or sports at the state, inter-college, or national levels receive special incentives such as financial rewards, hostel accommodations, free sports uniforms and equipment, and other benefits. Fortunately, our ability to attract exceptional talent has remained constant, and when coupled with our robust infrastructure and student support facilities, it has kept us at the forefront.

Notably, our college is the sole institution in Himachal Pradesh with an international-standard 400m synthetic track. Within our campus, a thriving Indoor Sports Hall provides dedicated spaces for boxing, judo, weightlifting, wrestling, and a fully-equipped gymnasium. We have recently added an internationally standard badminton court. The Department is well-equipped with the latest physical education literature and equipment to support our students.

Our college actively participates in the highest number of events/games in HPU inter-college championships, showcasing the highest level of participation compared to other colleges in the state. Our students engage in various sports such as volleyball, badminton, wrestling, cross-country, basketball, football, table tennis, boxing, cricket, weightlifting, athletics, shooting, hockey, judo, kho-kho, kabaddi, and more. Distinguished coaches from the Sports Authority of India and the Himachal Pradesh Sports Department are engaged to provide expert guidance and training. Every year, 30 to 50 of our college’s athletes represent Himachal Pradesh at open national events, and HPU Shimla in Inter-University Championships.

The Department of Physical Education also organizes various intra-mural sports tournaments for college students, with the active participation of more than 2000 students. Additionally, our department’s faculty members serve as technical officials in national, grand prix, and international meets. Moreover, our faculty is qualified as an IAAF level I Athletic coach.
