Co-Curricular Activies

The college has well-developed sports grounds of high standard which are consistently used for organizing inter-collegiate tournaments in Football, Ball-Badminton, Handball and athletics. In the last 6 years, more than 150 students have been selected for Inter-university and national sports events. The Strongest Women Title was conferred to the students of our college for two consecutive years. The college has ranked in the first ten consistently at the University of Mumbai since the turn of the century

 

Exposure of the students to highest quality of sports, National Cadet Crops (N.C.C.) and National Service Scheme (N.S.S.) is essential for achieving the holistic development of students. In the 21st Century, the College has never missed a place in the top ten sports ranking of University of Mumbai. The highest ranking was the 4th in 2003-2004. The N.C.C. cadets have always represented the College at the prestigious Republic Day Parade at Delhi, with highest award in N.C.C. - the Prime Ministers’ Baton being awarded to our N.C.C. Cadet in 2001.

 

The N.S.S. has literally grown from strength to strength from 100 in 2001 to 300 in 2008.  The programme of Welfare Community Activities provides unique social awakening to the students.  The current N.S.S. Unit has been instrumental in motivating a large number of school drop out women from Pimploli, Badlapur, to rejoin mainstream education, by taking the preparatory course of the Yashwantrao Chawan Maharashtra Open University (Y.C.M.O.U.), under the “Reach the Reachable Rightly” project of the UGC - sponsored Women Studies Centre.

 

The Co-curricular and extra curricular activities of the College are canalized through the various associations of the College, namely, the Science Association, Commerce Association, Arts Forum and the Sindhi Sahit Sangat. These associations aim to bring about focus and synergize the efforts of the different streams of the College. The Science Association has spread it wings by consistently organizing three Inter-Collegiate events, Avishkaar, Srujan and Aavesh in addition to he Intra Collegiate Activities.  Avishkaar, one of the most significant events organized annually by the Science Association, in collaboration with the Nehru Science Centre, Mumbai, is a science quiz program, which inspires the Junior college students to learn, to participate and to compete in a scientific environment.
