On the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashami, SVJCT’s Sports Academy observed Shastrapuja—a traditional ritual symbolising respect for the instruments that empower us. In Indian culture, Shastrapuja signifies gratitude towards the tools we use in our daily pursuits, whether they are weapons, books, or sporting equipment. At our academy, this sacred tradition was performed to honour the sports gear and training instruments that shape discipline, dedication, and success in our athletes’ journey.It reminds us that true strength lies not only in skill, but also in valuing the tools that help us achieve excellence.
