For INTER IIT

☒ A new sports event in the odd semester, inspired by DU’s one-day tournaments, will provide players with more exposure and a mid-year performance evaluation opportunity.

☑ Sport-specific resource allocation will be prioritized, ensuring that each team receives tailored support, such as chess software for the chess team instead of generic equipment.

☑ Captains and vice-captains will maintain practice attendance records to track player commitment and minimize last-minute dropouts before Inter-IIT.

☑ A structured needs assessment will be conducted with captains and coaches to understand and fulfill specific equipment and training requirements for each sport.

Infrastructural / Logistical Changes to be prioritised

☑ Dedicated ground staff will ensure weekly maintenance, and a centralized schedule will be shared with teams to prevent clashes and optimize facility usage.

☑ A publicly accessible inventory system at Mittal Sports Complex will allow players to check equipment availability and issue items easily.

☑ An anonymous feedback system for captains, vice-captains, and coaches will help address team concerns while ensuring confidentiality.

☑ Many teams prefer boiled eggs and other protein-rich food options instead of juice, so night mess coupons will be provided as an alternative to juice shop coupons.

☑ Post-practice dinner will be ensured across all hostels, especially for late-practicing athletes, through coordination with mess committees.

Initiatives for BSA

☐ GC for all sports will be conducted to scout talent for institute teams, motivate hostel participation, and prevent cancellations due to administrative issues.

☑ Take full responsibility for administrative coordination, ensuring team captains focus on training, while actively advocating for athletes’ needs rather than just relaying admin directives.

☐ IIT Delhi Sports will be rebranded with a mascot and enhanced media presence, attracting sponsors and increasing visibility through high-quality event coverage and player features.

☑ Timely procurement of sports equipment will be ensured, preventing premature wear and tear by aligning delivery with competition schedules.

☐ A timely structured fixture system will be implemented in GC to prevent overlaps and individual personal plans of our athletes.

☐ Formal alumni interactions and contingent reunions will be organized by BSA to strengthen connections between past and present athletes.

☐ Sports secretaries will be included in BSA to ensure better coordination between hostels and institute-level sports initiatives.

☐ The BSA website will be revamped with a repository of past Inter-IIT and Inter-Hostel results, a yearbook to honor graduating seniors, and an online ground/court booking system.
