Ms. Sanchita Raha, Principal of CHIREC International, spoke during the event. She said that CHIREC is dedicated to providing an environment where sports are just as important as academics. She explained that their “Beyond Academics” initiative helps students build teamwork, resilience, and leadership skills through sports and other activities.
The new Serilingampally campus highlights this focus on sports with its impressive facilities. The campus features a 4.5-acre elevated sports deck, which includes five basketball courts, both indoor and outdoor, meeting global standards. These state-of-the-art facilities allow students to practice and develop their athletic abilities.
For the next few days, the grounds of CHIREC will be buzzing with young athletes showing off their skills and teamwork. The ISSO National Games at CHIREC aim to showcase the talents of India’s youth, while also reinforcing the school’s commitment to developing future leaders in both academics and sports.
