Vice-Chancellor KU, Prof. Nilofer Khan, said, “Hosting the All India Inter-University Wushu Championship is an important opportunity for the University to bring young athletes from different parts of the country together through sports. Such events encourage discipline, teamwork, and healthy competition while giving students a platform to learn from one another.”
She added that the University has made extensive preparations to ensure the smooth conduct of the championship and a comfortable experience for athletes and officials visiting Srinagar for the event.
The week-long championship, scheduled to be held at the SKISC Srinagar, is expected to witness high-level competition across various Wushu categories and formats. With athletes arriving from universities across India, the event will also create opportunities for interaction and cultural exchange among students from different regions of the country.
The championship is being organised in line with the broader objective of promoting youth engagement, fitness, and positive social participation under the ongoing Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyaan. Organisers said the event will also give local students and sports enthusiasts an opportunity to witness national-level university competition at close quarters.
