Dr. Suma Nair, Director of Student Affairs, Manipal Academy of Higher Education inaugurated the Meet and motivated the students to develop a spirit of physical fitness and sense of sportsmanship. Dr. Anitha, Deputy Secretary, Sports Council, MU gave away the prizes and awards in the evening. We are proud that this year's event was on a larger scale and successful due to the unlimited support from Director of Physical Education(MIT), Dr. Kemparaj H.B. This event in itself was as motivating as we sensed the sportsmanship spirit in all our students and tension between each other to win their sport.

There were almost 100 matches played in over 13 sports for over 14 days from 21 Feb. to 04 March 2016. These events were a total package of tension and heat, smiles and aggression, excitement and tiredness. The ICAS Annual Sports Meet 2016, was an event that help developing a sense of responsibility and make the students realize the importance of sports and how it develops discipline in them which they can later use in their personal lives.
