PROPOSAL

I propose to introduce E-sport as an open IIT tournament to be in tune with the growing culture of E-sports all over the world and to provide a platform to the students of IIT Kharagpur in this field.

Objective

●To provide the necessary platform and exposure in the field of E-sports for the students of IIT Kharagpur.

Vision

●To have the participation of IIT Kharagpur students in the various international E-sports tournaments organized by the International esport federation in future.

●To have a subcommittee with an allocated budget forE-sports in future.

I recently conducted a survey among 153 students of IIT Kharagpur to take their views on the introduction of E-sports in IIT Kharagpur.

Here are the statistics of the survey conducted:-

Q1.) Do you play video games in your free time?

Q2.) Do you feel that it is necessary to have a platform for the students of IIT Kharagpur to showcase their talent in E-sports?

Q3.) Do you feel that introducing E-sports tournament will reduce the involvement of students in physical activities?

Current Scenario

●A huge community of students amongst us who practice E-sports on a regular basis don’t get proper recognition due to lack of a proper platform for them to display their talent.

●E-sports is being recognized all over the world, it was featured in the 2018 Asian games as a demonstration sport and it will be a medal event in 2022 Asian games.

●According to International E-sports federation, Paris 2024 Olympics organisers are in deep talks to include E-sports as a demonstration sport.

My plans to conduct this event

●I have planned to implement E-sports open IIT tournament which would have participants from all the halls of residence.

●All the events under this tournament will be held under the official norms of the International E-sportfederation.

●One in-charge will be made amongst the secretaries of Sports & Games Committee to conduct the tournament.

●The game(s) to be played in this tournament would be decided in a meeting with a representative from each hall of residence and representatives from Sports & Games Committee, TSG.

Benefits

●Platform for the student community to show their talent in the field of E-sports

●Introducing E-sport Open IIT tournament will lead to the formation of more active groups amongst the student community which will eventually help them in socializing.

Conclusion

The implementation of this proposal will provide the necessary platform to the students of IIT Kharagpur in the field of esports, will help students in socializing and will also encourage international tournament participation.

PROPOSAL

I propose to introduce proper changing rooms and washrooms for girls at various sports grounds and courts.

CURRENT SCENARIO

I recently conducted a survey among 136 studets regarding the conditions & availabilty of sanitation facilities and changing rooms at various sports fields & courts.

Q.) Do you feel that the current sanitation & changing room facilities at various sports fields & courts are satisfactory ?

(All values are in percentage)

Currently, our Institute lacks proper changing rooms at the following places :-

●TSG Badminton Courts

●Tata Sports Complex

●Basketball & Volleyball Court

●TSG Tennis Courts

Changing rooms are available at :-

What I have planned to do:-
