In the Mizoram University Sports that began on Monday the 14th and concludes today, the 18th March 2016, GAC has netted three medals, a gold in Men's Badminton, a silver in Women's Badminton and a bronze in Basketball (men's only). This is the first time in several years and several editions of the MZU Sports competition that GAC has put up such a poor showing. Last year, GAC had been the overall champions.


Classes had been suspended throughout the entire week as students and teaching faculty all set off to watch and support the college teams in various sports disciplines, namely football (men), basketball (men), hockey (women), badminton (men and women), table tennis (men and women) and chess (men), in a variety of venues within Aizawl. Despite crashing out early in the competition, classes could not be resumed during the week because sports delegates from a number of colleges outside Aizawl had been put up in the college classrooms. Keeping in view the number of working days required by the UGC in the semester system, it is perhaps high time for the MZU Sports authorities to work out a more viable schedule for the University sports which will enable collegiate sportspersons to showcase their talents without disrupting the entire institution's work timetable.


Classes will resume on Monday the 21st.
