Sports
Keeping active is an important part of student life…….
At AEC, sport plays an integral role within college life, developing independent minded individuals that display resilience under pressure. We provide our students the opportunity to achieve their potential whilst striving for an individual and collective level of excellence. Anand has widened the provision on offer whilst providing unprecedented levels of success for our sports teams and highest performing individuals.
In the modern scenario wherein there is cut throat competition of being successful, the life of a normal man & woman has no place for patience and time for refining the soul. When all the comforts and materialistic things fail to provide satisfaction and peace to life, sports and physical education comes into picture.
It’s an urgent need of the time to incorporate sports activities for the evolution of human, from just a student or technocrat to a complete man.
