Given this backdrop, I am very pleased to see the initiative taken by IIM Shillong to spread this message of Swamiji. IIM Shillong in its 8th year has inducted a Sports Committee with a vision of being dynamic interface to sporting activities both inside and outside the institute. The founding committee primarily aims to augment physical fitness, sportsmanship spirit and leadership qualities. It helms the responsibility of contriving various sports events and seminars that involves the entire student fraternity, faculty as well as the staff. More importantly, the committee will strive to utilize the talent pool available at IIM Shillong and make the institute’s presence felt in as many competitions. IIM Shillong has always been blessed with students taking great interest in sports and recreational activities. Now that the institute will very soon complete its 10th year, inter college sports events will be quintessential for leveraging its relationship with other elite business institutes. Apart from all this, the sports committee of any institute helps in building a connect with the local community and involvement of the society is imperative to the success of the institute. Formation of this much awaited committee has spurred enthusiasm in all the stakeholders involved; Undoubtedly the IIM Shillong Sports Committee 2015-17 will live up to the expectations because making the students of IIM Shillong game for life is the raison d’etre of its existence.
