National Law Institute University, Bhopal | 15th edition of Virudhaka

Virudhaka originated as an inter-college sports fest proposed by NLIU Bhopal to promote sportsman spirit and friendly competition among students from across India. The fest has grown in size, student participation, and events by leaps and bounds every year. This is also due in part to the efforts left behind by the university to spread the event within and outside the legal community.

 The festival also includes many events so that everyone has something to do. These contestants can engage in football, futsal, badminton, basketball, cricket, lawn tennis, bodybuilding, volleyball, chess, pool and snooker, table tennis, throwball, carrom, e-sports league, and sports mediation. This motley crowd of an event unites varied interests and skills, so it's a relaxed and fun event for all law students in India. Virudhaka began as an inter-college sports activity conducted by NLIU Bhopal with the purpose to instill sportsman spirit and friendly competition among Indian students. The event has increased immensely in size, participation, and type of activities over the years. The growth also attributes to the initiatives of the university in marketing the event outside and within the legal community. It is a success event owing to the dedication of NLIU students who organize all elements of the festival, ranging from planning and organization to marketing and execution. The faculty members also provide excellent guidance and maintain high standards. What began as a series of friendly intra-university games has evolved into one of the country's largest inter-collegiate sporting festivals. Far from being a competition, Virudhaka encourages camaraderie, fair play and unleashes the diverse talents of law students in the country. The festival is all about giving the best, creating bonds which would last an eternity and enjoying the centuries old culture of sportsman spirit. This year's VIRUDHAKA will raise the bar. In its fifteenth year, the festival expands in size and fervor. The competition finds its measure between competitive and communal, bringing together law students from across India. 

The festival is not merely about empowering students to grow in sports but also in teamwork, leadership, and event management. It provides avenues for students to grow in terms of perseverance, discipline and fault-finding, demonstrating the ways in which sports develop character more than book intelligence.
