IMPULSO 2025 ignited the sporting spirit across Gandhinagar University, turning the campus into a vibrant arena for both indoor and outdoor athletics. Staged over four energetic weeks, the first two weeks hosted an inter-college championship that drew students from Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and other nearby universities, while the following two weeks focused on intra-university contests that showcased homegrown talent. The university generously opened its courts, fields, and indoor halls so every participant — guest or student — could compete on quality surfaces and enjoy professional-standard facilities.
Adding an international flair to the competition, international students of Gandhinagar University also took part in IMPULSO 2025, representing their home countries in various sports such as football, volleyball, badminton, and more. Their spirited performances not only brought diversity to the games but also fostered cross-cultural friendships and teamwork that extended far beyond the field. The global participation made the event truly inclusive and highlighted Gandhinagar University’s international community and commitment to global engagement.








The event blended fierce competition with community warmth: mornings began with warm-ups and drills, afternoons brimmed with fixtures, and evenings were for cheering teams and prize ceremonies. Organizers awarded real gold, silver, and bronze medals to top finishers across categories, and generous prize money encouraged wider participation — from individual winners to champion teams. Faculty and staff were not left out: the university arranged special fixtures for internal faculty teams to promote fitness, team-building, and healthy competition, demonstrating that sport at GU isn’t only for students but part of campus culture for everyone.
IMPULSO covered a wide range of sports to suit every interest. Indoor events included: Table Tennis, Badminton, Chess, Carrom, Weightlifting, Boxing (indoor arena), Squash, Taekwondo, Wrestling (mat-based indoor), and Gymnastics. Outdoor events included: Football, Cricket, Basketball (open courts), Athletics (100m, 200m, 400m, relays, long jump, high jump), Volleyball, Kabaddi, Lawn Tennis, Hockey, Archery, and Cross-Country. The mix of team and individual sports meant athletes across disciplines — tactical, endurance, skill-based — all had their moments in the spotlight.
Beyond medals and trophies, IMPULSO 2025 emphasized sportsmanship, coaching, and grassroots development. Coaches ran clinics between matches, referees held brief training sessions on fair play, and medical teams stayed on hand to ensure player safety. The prize structure — headline awards for overall champions plus category-wise prize money — helped offset travel costs for visiting teams and gave student-athletes a tangible reward for their hard work.
IMPULSO also functioned as a festival: stalls, student bands, and informal exhibitions created a carnival atmosphere that made every game day feel like a community celebration. For Gandhinagar University, IMPULSO 2025 was more than a competition — it was a statement that athletics, wellness, and community go hand-in-hand with academics. The event has set a strong precedent for future calendars and reinforced the university’s commitment to nurturing both body and mind.
