Profile of Department :
The Department of Physical Education was established in the year 1986.
Smt. Shakuntala S. Biradar has been serving as Physical Director since July 1987. The department has strived to recognize the sports talents and has aided the players to evolve their skills. The institute is purely dedicated to the women and majority of the students come from the rural places. The department of physical education has not only toiled in scouting the talented students, aided in improving their skills but has also provided discernible opportunities to showcase their abilities. The department provides overall required facilities in the games like Athletics, Volley Ball, Netball, Hand Ball, Kabaddi Kho-Kho, Basket Ball, , Kabaddi,Tennicoit,Table Tennis, Chess, Carom, etc to the students.
The Sports Committee has been setup, which summons meeting at the beginning of the academic year, where the sports activities to be conducted for the academic year are discussed and planned. The Principal, Physical Director and Sports Committee members take part in the meetings. The talented students are scouted and they are given special trainings that help them to improvise their skills in their respective game.

The institute provides TA/DA, entry fees, etc for the students participating in Inter-collegiate tournaments. Inter-Collegiate Sports Tournaments are conducted every year by our institute.
The department along with focusing on sports also emphasizes on maintaining the overall physical fitness. We believe in the ideology that a sound mind can exist only in a sound body, hence for any normal student, it is very important to have a good physical health, in order to achieve the academic excellence. The department motivates the students to inculcate physical activities in their daily life. Simple exercises are taught to the students that can be performed by them in their home. A fully equipped gymnasium is open for the students and staff members. It is a prominent place for sports enthusiasts and fitness freaks. The gymnasium is well equipped with latest equipments and machines. To motivate the students to take part in sports and to create a platform for the students to showcase their talents, Annual Sports Meet is conducted every year in the month of March –April. The winners are awarded in the Valedictory function.
We believe that along with maintaining physical health, mental health is also an equally important factor in the life of the students. At present, the life of the people has become so clumsy and busy that the youngsters are facing the psychological problems like anxiety, depression, etc. To avoid and tackle such problems, the department has included the practice of Yoga and meditation. Students are taught the Yogic postures and their advantages; they are also motivated to inculcate the habit of meditation in their life. Programmes on Yoga are conducted and lectures, demonstrations are given by resource person.
To inspire the students to take up sports, special lectures by renowned resource person are conducted by the department frequently. Workshops, Lectures on Diet and food habits are organized, where the students are acknowledged with the healthy diet plans and food habits. Such programmes have helped the students in maintaining their physical health. Medical checkup are organized by the department, once in a year, where the students can communicate with the doctors and can get their problems solved.
With all such facilities and opportunities, the students are able to participate in various level sports competitions and have performed well and have uplifted the glory of the institute.
