Industry Collaboration & MOU Discussion

During the visit to the Decathlon sports showroom, students actively engaged in discussions regarding potential institutional collaboration. The possibility of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was explored to strengthen academic-industry linkage.

Students enquired about the formal process for collaboration, and the management advised that the institution should submit an official letter requesting the tie-up. They welcomed further discussion upon receiving proper documentation from the college.

Organization & Leadership

The entire program was meticulously planned and executed under the leadership of Mrs. Mahalakshmi, Head of the Department of Physical Education. Her coordination ensured that students gained comprehensive exposure to both the commercial sector (Decathlon) and administrative training infrastructure (District Sports Office).
