Inter IIT Sports Meet - Adopt an Athlete

About the cause

Inter-IIT was held for the first time in the year 1961, with five IIT's competing in five sports.

The sports meet has been a stage for every IIT to compete against its peers and remained the only event where all the 23 IITs come together for a common goal.

This year after 52 successful editions of Inter IIT sports meet, the 53rd meet returns to IIT Guwahati in an event which promises to be a litmus test of endurance, willpower and hard work.

Around 165 athletes are participating from IIT Madras this year, It requires Rs.20000 per sports person to be trained with kits and supported by nutrition .
