In University System, sports is an integral part of education which help students to develop the spirit of brotherhood and sportsmanship. Sports is not only for sportsperson, rather it is for everyone. Therefore sports is a means of physical, mental, emotional and social development. It helps in national integration by melting the ice of creeds, color, religion and socio-economic status. Accordingly, active participation of University students in competitive sports generates a spirit of healthy competition in daily life too.

From the time of its inception, Central University of Punjab, Bathinda (CUPB) has always been giving importance to sports and games. CUPB also organizes Annual Sports meet every year to promote sports culture within the walls of the University. As a result students participate in National and state sports competitions. Sports play a very important role in enhancing academic performance and shaping the personality and character of the students. With the same ideology CUPB gives special emphasis on University sports and encourages its students to participate in various sports competitions.

Nelson Mandela, the Nobel laureate for peace and former president of South Africa, said in one of his speeches, “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair…” therefore CUPB has always in its priority to promote sports and to develop sporty environment in campus. In the year 2021 Central University of Punjab included some interesting indigenous activities in Annual Sports meet apart from the competitive sports events to enrich traditional values in the students of the university. Basketball, Badminton, Cricket, Kabaddi, Volleyball, Yoga, Track & Field, Pithu Garam, Gilli Danda, Tug of War, Gitta, Stapoo are the sports activities which are organized every year as a part of Annual Sports Meet in Central University of Punjab, Bathinda.
