All registered students,
faculty, and staff of AIIAS
were divided into four teams
and assigned student team

encouraged to participate in the
event.
During those four days, the
teams competed in basketball,
volleyball, football, badminton,
table tennis, tennis, chess, and
darts. Track and field, tug of

fair were added into the mix
during the last day to give a
truly active, vibrant, and festive
atmosphere.
In such a diverse community

playing sports. The exercise
also provides an outlet for busy
students and faculty to develop
“Friendship, Teamwork, and
Fun.” O
