tremendous growth over the years. The campus was established with the
objective to bring higher education to the doorsteps of the
disadvantaged and hitherto excluded section of the society living in
the remote hilly area of the region. Bhaderwah Campus has five academic
departments including the Business school, Department of Computer
Application and IT, English, Education, Geography besides a research
Institute, Institute of Mountain Environment with three departments,
catering to the research and academic needs of nearly 400 students each
year.

is being held after COVID, has compelled us to put a cap on the number
of participants this time due to logistical constraints. Close to 1200
participants, including the support staff from 32 colleges will take
part in 24 events, involving 12 cultural and athletic events, each.
A total of forty different competitions viz Debate, Sketching, Clay
