Asian School of Business held its renowned annual inter-college sports meet, ATHLEEMA 2019 from 13th to 15th March 2019 at the grand Jasola Sports Complex, New Delhi with its traditional punch of discipline, excitement and grandeur. The inaugural function was a very power packed affair and it took place on Wednesday, 13th March 2019.
The sports meet started with the contagious zest among the participants and spectators along with Asian School of Business students. The opening ceremony commenced with the torch-lighting ceremony, ignited by the respected Directors. An impressive line-up of 35 participating colleges showed their co-ordination, spirit and a strive for perfection.
As the ATHLEEMA was dedicated to the martyrs of the recent ‘Pulwama attack’, the meet observed two-minute silence to commemorate the martyrs. This was then followed by the lamp-lighting ceremony construed as a metaphor for brightness, positivity and the good spirits.
After this, the esteemed Group Directors inspired the team for the level-up. While Dr. Lalitya Vir Srivastava inspired the participants with his encouraging speech, Mr. Saurabh Sharma motivated the participants to inculcate the sportsmanship not just on the ground but also in their personal lives. Mr. Gurdeep Singh Raina fostered the participants’ energy. To mark ATHLEEMA, bunches of balloons were released by the Directors that soared high into the horizon, adding colours of joy and celebration. Symbolically, this portrayed a strong message “let all the fear fly away and the participation be taken to the next level”.
Post this function, the Directors inaugurated the individual events at their respective venues.
