From the days of ancient Olympics, if there is one thing that has brought people closer, one thing that has inculcated valor, leadership, courage and skill, one thing that has repeatedly emphasized the importance of teamwork, spirit and harmony, it is sport. 

UDGHOSH, Annual Sports Festival of IIT Kanpur, is built on the same foundations and propagates the spirit of sports. It provides arena for student athletes from across the country to lock horns in an epic battle, each determined by the last man standing. It sees hordes of academicians and students transform into raving sports fanatics. Excellent facilities and tough competition ensure that this will be one sports festival that you don't want to miss.

UDGHOSH offers a platform for students from all over India to showcase their talent and compete with the best upcoming sport persons in the country in a highly charged and competitive ambience with highly equipped sports facilities. The festival comprises of a plethora of events from Motivational Talks, Gymnastic Shows and Sport Quizzes to various sports events like Athletics, Cricket, Football, Hockey, Volleyball, Basketball, Badminton, Tennis, Table Tennis, Weightlifting, Mini Marathon and Cycling Events.

A festival of this magnitude requires a vast and diverse infrastructure, and that is the reason why IIT Kanpur alone can take the onus of organizing Udghosh.

This entire infrastructure is of no avail unless there is efficient and responsible management and maintenance. The Udghosh management team ensures that there is efficient utilization of infrastructure with members from the staff, faculty, and the student community, taking active part in the organization process.
