“A game of thrills, trials and triumph A game symbolising the victory of virtue over vice A game that imprints its legacy within our hearts, minds, and souls.”
Kabaddi is fast, furious, and physical, making for a great spectacle – a fact vindicated by the ever-rising global popularity of Pro Kabaddi. This franchise-based kabaddi league started in India in 2014. The game is a man-to-man competition between two teams. Each team had a count of 10 members. A kabaddi match typically runs for 40 minutes (two halves of 20 minutes each). The match started with a coin toss between the two teams and the winner can decide whether to raid or defend first. Each team is allowed two time-outs in each half.
On 24th May 2024, The Bhawanipur Education Society College witnessed the start of an exhilarating day of the Intra-College Kabaddi Championship from 10:30 A.M. onwards at the Jubilee Hall. The inaugural ceremony of the tournament was graced by the presence of the Rector and Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Dilip Shah. In his welcome speech, Prof. Dilip Shah highlighted the significance of this sport and acknowledged the harsh weather conditions that necessitated holding the championship indoors. He emphasised the college’s commitment to promoting sports and physical activities despite various challenges proving the proverb, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way”. His speech set a positive tone for the championship, inspiring the participants and spectators alike. The event witnessed overwhelming participation, with approximately 190 participants in total. There were 19 teams in total, 14 in the boys’ category and the other 5 teams in the girls’ category.

The semi-finals heightened with excitement as 4 teams competed for a final spot. The nail-biting final match took place between the Bhawanipur Team A and Team B. It gathered a large audience with the chief referee of the game being the college’s very own coach of the kabaddi team, Mr Swarup Ghosh, also known to be the West Bengal senior Kabaddi team coach. The final score was 46-44 in favor of BESC team A crowning them the champions of this Intra-college championship. In the girl’s category, there were a total of 5 teams in this category. The first round witnessed two knockout matches, one between Ruthless Riders & BESC girl Team 2, and another between Royal Tigers & BESC girls Team 1.
