UoM reduces participation in inter university sports due to fund shortage
Mysuru: The University of Mysore is set to drastically scale down its participation in inter-university sports competitions this academic year, citing a severe funding shortage. While the university competed in over 30 events last year, it is expected to take part in only 10 to 15 events this time—less than half of its previous participation. Despite collecting nearly Rs 2 crore annually through the sports development fee, the university allocates a comparatively meagre amount to support its athletes. Last year, Rs 60 lakh was earmarked for sports, but in the most recent meeting of the syndicate, the amount was slashed further to just Rs 40 lakh. The decision is a major setback for hundreds of student-athletes who rely on such platforms to hone their skills and gain national-level exposure. Many of them now face the prospect of missing out entirely, particularly those who didn't win medals last year but have shown significant improvement this season. Apart from collecting Rs 2 crore annually from students for sports development fee, the university also gets Rs 15 lakh annually as part of an agreement for Srikanta Datta Narasimharaja Wadiyar ground from KSCA. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

Techno Mag Learn More Undo According to university sources, only medal-winning teams from the previous year are likely to be sent to inter-university events this time — a move that many in the sporting community deem unfair. "This policy penalises students who have worked hard over the past year to improve," said one official on condition of anonymity. The department of physical education has expressed concern over financial constraints and emphasised the urgent need for additional resources. Without adequate funding, they warn that the future of campus sports could be in serious jeopardy. Speaking to TOI, university registrar MK Savitha acknowledged the issue. "We have a meeting scheduled this week where the matter will be discussed in detail. We will try our best to support as many sports as possible. If there is a genuine need for additional funds, we will reconsider the budget," she said. The situation has sparked calls from students, alumni, and sports enthusiasts urging the university to prioritise sports funding and ensure equitable opportunities for all aspiring athletes.
