The SRM Institute of Science and Technology was awarded the Best University for the Promotion of Sports at the 2024 Sportstar ACES Awards at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai on Thursday.
For the past two decades, SRM has dominated the inter-university, state, and national-level tournaments in and around India. In the previous Olympics, SRM-IST sailor Nethra Kumanan represented the country.
SRM has 40 international-level players in different sports, notably shuttler Malvika Bansod and swimmer Vikkas Prabhakar. In chess, of the 84 Grandmasters in India, 13 are from the university. Every three months, SRM publishes the Sports Reap Mail magazine as well.
