To ensure all round development of students, Ranchi University gives special attention to sports, cultural activities, social services (through NSS) and works seriously to inculcate patriotic values (via NCC). It is due to the sincere and laborious efforts of the students and authorities that Ranchi University’s students have been able to carve a niche at the national level. In addition to routine programmes, Annual Games are held regularly in almost all colleges and also collectively by Ranchi University. Our students participate in all major competitions organized at zonal and national levels. Our performance in Archery has been Excellent. We bagged ‘team championship’ in All India Inter-university Archery (Men) tournament and got 4th position in All India Inter-university hockey (Women) tournament held at Manipur University, Manipur. In All India Inter-university Chess tournament held at V.I.T., Vellore our university was placed at 5th position. In Chancellor’s cup tournament, we are the champion in both (M&W) categories in volleyball and in football we succeeded to get the top position in male category but our eves missed the target by whisker and had to settle for 2nd position.
Option of NCC is available in 19 colleges of this University with more than 3610 cadets enrolled under the supervision of 21 officers, 18 of them being of commissioned rank. Several NCC cadets of this University have been awarded scholarships.
As far as cultural activities are concerned, the Youth festivals are organized in all colleges, culminating in the grand finale organised by the university. Ranchi University has excellent track record in these activities.
Performance of NSS has been praiseworthy. Besides actively participating in regular activities (Rallies, Awareness campaign, and social services) NSS volunteers’ role during and after any natural calamity has been exemplary.
