The IIM Indore Sports Stadium was filled with great zeal and fervour on January 23, 2020 as the institute’s student-run initiative iHelp celebrated its Sports Day. This was conducted in association with the undergraduate sports fest, Ranbhoomi. The event saw over 100 students from the schools of Umariya, Rangwasa and Pigdambar. All the participants, volunteers and core team of iHelp were active participants in the event.
The students arrived at around 11 am in the campus and were divided into groups of 10-12 with assigned volunteers. They enjoyed playing football, volleyball, dodge ball, catch the leader, amoeba tag, kho-kho and other fun games among themselves and with volunteers. Later they were served refreshments.
All the volunteers had divided themselves into small groups to handle the event and the students. They had fun engaging with the students.
The event was aimed to promote the importance of sports in students’ lives. Values such as teamwork and dedication were imparted to the children over the day. The students seemed to enjoy learning outside classrooms since the games ensured that their language and mathematical skills came into play.
