Era of Changes:IT-Gymkhana Soars to New Pinnacle

The single largest body in IT-BHU, the IT-Gymkhana is a functionary of all co-curricular and extracurricular activities in IT. A hoard of changes have taken place in the sports facilities in IT in the last couple of years and all credit goes to the Gymkhana. During this period some new grounds have been constructed and the provision of the flood lights in some grounds have made them accessible in the night too. The Gym has also been refurbished. Some badminton and volleyball courts have also been built, courtesy of which, you can see shuttles rambling at the Gymkhana ground in the evening. Recently a handball court has also been prepared.

Despite all these efforts, some girls are still not satisfied, because the time restriction in their hostel does not allow them to take full advantage of these facilities. But still, we can say that the Gymkhana is breaking the moulds and stretching up all its limits to benefit the students’ body as much as possible. Now it is on the students to take the best advantage of these facilities because Malviyaji’s dream of overall development of the students could not be fulfilled without students’ cooperation. Ponder over it when you pass by a sports field next time...
