Celebrating the 6th Vishwanath Sports Meet – Nation Building Through Sports

Dear Sports Enthusiasts,

It gives me immense pleasure and pride to announce the forthcoming 6th state-level Intercollegiate Vishwanath Sports Meet 2023, organized by MIT ADT University.
From my early childhood, I have held a deep-seated passion for sports. This fervor was instilled in me by the ideals of the great son of India, Shri. Swami Vivekananda, who once proclaimed, & Our country needs a few strong men with muscles of iron and nerves of steel, and I will change the face of Mother India. & These words have been a constant source of inspiration for me throughout my life.

My reverence for sports was deeply influenced by my father, Rashtradharmapujak Dadarao Karad, who was born into a humble farmer & family. His commitment to our nation and his unwavering devotion left an indelible mark on my character. In honor of my father & memory, we have been organizing a state-level wrestling event annually in his birthplace, Rameshwar, since 2007. This event has brought a new era of wrestling to the peaceful village of Rameshwar. I belong to the Varkari Sampraday, a community known for its values of moral conduct and unwavering devotion to Lord Vitthal. Every year, we host the Varkari Mahavir Kusti (wrestling) competition during the auspicious Ashadi Ekadashi pilgrimage at Wakhari, Pandharpur. My passion for the development of sports in rural Maharashtra is reflected in my unique initiatives, such as the Round Table conference that unites wrestling enthusiasts from across India.

We also take pride in the red clay mud wrestling akhada at MIT Engineering College, established in 1998, inaugurated by the honorable Hind Kesari Ganpatrao Andalkar and Yog-Guru Shelar Mama. At the age of 83, I remain dedicated to maintaining a good physique and practicing yoga daily, despite a busy schedule. My aim is to instill the love of sports in the minds of young students, who sometimes overlook the importance of physical fitness and true sportsmanship. MIT organizes the national-level inter-engineering sports meet, & Summit, & and the MANET Sports Meet, both offering platforms for emerging athletes and sportspersons to showcase their talents.

Today, MIT-ADT University proudly carries forward the legacy in the realm of sports. The 6th state- level Intercollegiate Vishwanath Sports Meet 2023 is even more significant given the challenges of the ongoing pandemic, which have limited outdoor sports activities and heightened the importance. of health awareness. This event is poised to be a herald of hope and opportunity, providing a stage for every sportsperson to shine and contribute to the advancement of Indian sports. I invite all of you to join us in celebrating the spirit of sports, unity, and dedication to a healthier future. The 6th Vishwanath Sports Meet 2023 is poised to make history, and we welcome your enthusiastic participation in this exciting journey.

It is a fact that sports are second to oxygen in maintaining good health leading to a happy life for every human being. The role of sports has an important place among other extra-curricular activities In this regard, the academic institutions act as a nucleus whose impact on the youngsters matters a lot in society. These institutions are responsible for highlighting the importance of sports in the community.

Sports bring discipline in life sports activate all the cells and keep the body active, fit and slim, Sports improve thinking ability and reduce the stress of the mind. Those people not so much interested in sports are less active and have chances of getting diseases in the early stage of life and show lethargy in work.

Different people have different interests in sports, but the action is the same in all sports, Sports are becoming big channels for every one of us, and making efforts to achieve its goal can lead our nation to the next level, Let’s join Vishwanath Sport Meet 2024 and become part of National Wealth.

We, at MIT-ADT University, firmly believe that innovativeness comes from a robust body in every human which attribute to the importance of sports in one’s years of physical growth that is the college years.

I firmly believe that “A person can only be thoughtful in mind when the body can stay fit”. Further, when the attribute of excellence comes from competitiveness, which is a trait one develops when the person participates in sports.

“Vishwanath Sports Meet” is a platform created by MITADTU for college-going youth to prove that they are worthy of these beliefs of mine. It also builds that competitive spirit amongst the youth, which helps them fight battles of life.
