The vibrant campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is set to witness a major sporting spectacle once again. The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), in collaboration with Khelo Bharat, has officially announced the organisation of JNU Olympics 2.0 in January 2026. This university-level sports festival aims to bring together students from across disciplines in a celebration of athleticism and team spirit.
Event Schedule and Registration Details
The organisers have revealed the preliminary timeline for the eagerly awaited event. Registrations for JNU Olympics 2.0 are slated to commence on January 3, 2026. The main sports meet is planned to be held in the latter part of January 2026, ensuring a week-long festivity of competitions. The event is exclusively open to students enrolled at Jawaharlal Nehru University, providing them a platform to showcase their sporting talents beyond academics.
While the final schedule and the complete list of sporting disciplines are still being finalised, representatives confirmed that multiple events are being planned. These will include a mix of team-based and individual sports, catering to a wide range of athletic interests. Further announcements regarding specific events, registration procedures, and exact dates are promised soon.
Building on a Successful Legacy
The upcoming edition seeks to build upon the resounding success of the previous JNU Olympics. The inaugural event set a high benchmark, drawing participation from approximately 2,500 students. This massive turnout highlighted the student community's enthusiasm for sports and established the Olympics as a key calendar event within the university.
The collaboration between ABVP, a prominent student organisation, and Khelo Bharat, an initiative focused on promoting sports culture, underscores a committed effort to institutionalise sporting activities on campus. The goal is to foster a healthy, competitive environment and encourage a balanced student life.
