Technology Students Gymkhana

The concept of the Technology Students’ Gymkhana as a forum of Sports and Games, Social and Cultural and Technology activities, in which the students, the faculty, staff and their families can take deep interest is unique, and was introduced at IIT Kharagpur for the first time way back in the fifties. The Technology Students’ Gymkhana is an organization for fostering and developing extra-curricular activities among the students. Through sports, games and cultural activities it helps to cultivate the spirit of constructive co-operation, leadership qualities and organizational abilities among the students. The Gymkhana is the nerve-centre of this residential campus and has enriched the quality of student life. Gymkhana has a large number of facilities. These include a well-equipped modern Gymnasium, a standard swimming pool and two stadiums, namely, Jnan Ghosh stadium and Tata Sports Complex.  Besides these, there are also floodlit Basketball, Volleyball and Tennis Courts. Club activities are also encouraged where students can display and develop their talents in various fields, e.g. photography, dramatics, social service, Yoga, etc. The Gymkhana also organizes annual social and cultural festival “Spring Festival”, and Techo-Management festival “Kshitij”.
