Motto: Sports For All

Since 1951, sports have been an integral part of academic activities at the college, which has a rich history of success in inter-collegiate tournaments for football, hockey, basketball, and athletics. The department, led for 38 years by the late Mr. F.G. D’Mello, a strict disciplinarian, renowned boxer, and skilled administrator, has produced many notable players at national, state, and university levels. Supported by the principal and staff, teachers like Prof. E.C. Daniel, Prof. Sivaraman, and Prof. Ms. Lobo played key roles in training athletes. Since 1988, Dr. Varghese C. Antony, followed by Mr. Harish Dubey and Ms. Rohela Pillay, has led the department, which fields 40 teams including Boys and girls annually for inter-collegiate tournaments, with 12-13 teams consistently achieving victories. The college also organizes 3-4 tournaments yearly, with athletes representing RDVV Jabalpur at inter-university competitions. Equipped with multi-gym and training facilities, the department received a UGC grant in 1992 to enhance its resources.
