Indore : Ranbhoomi, the annual sports fest of Indian Institute of Management Studies, will be organised by students of Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) on the campus from February 5-7.
This will be the second exciting fest which is likely to draw the best sports persons from prestigious colleges across the nation.
“The word ‘Ranbhoomi’ truly captures the essence of any competitive sport. It is about the challenge, the war, the performance in the war, the rules, the ethics, the spirit and all that contributes to culminate into a healthy competition where one desires victory, in its every form,” IIM Indore media incharge Akhtar Parvez said
Annually held, the three-day event this year will again witness more than 20 sporting events ranging from the popular Cricket, Football, Basketball, Lawn Tennis, Volleyball and Chess to the unusual including Arm Wrestling, Street Football, Gully Cricket, Foosball and much more. Flagship events like Triathlon, Power Lifting and Swimming will also be included in the competition.
Apart from the sport events and various informal events, the highlight of the fest would be a Mega Night on the last day i.e. February 7.
The last day will have a ‘Fight for Glory Campaign’ to bring to light the suffering sports persons, which would also include a footfall of over 8000 and participation from over 80 colleges.
As a major highlight, the Guest of Honor for this event will be Gautam Gambhir, the much loved cricketer of Indian Cricket Team.
“Each event promises to bring together the best talent from across the nation and thus the fest brings three days of a pure, unadulterated sporting experience for its participants,” Parvez said.
