Cricket Match Strengthens Community Ties Between Chitkara University and Nearby Villages

On 20th May 2025, Chitkara University, Punjab witnessed more than just a cricket match, it witnessed the deepening of a bond built on shared purpose. Organised by the National Service Scheme in collaboration with the University Sports Board, the event brought together villagers from Jhansla and Ramnagar in a display of unity, mutual respect, and community spirit.

The match was not merely a fixture on the calendar but a reflection of Chitkara University’s ongoing engagement with its neighbouring villages. The villagers stepped onto the pitch as equals, not guests, echoing the long-standing relationship cultivated through collaborative projects and shared efforts. The energy on the field was grounded, effortless, and genuine.

Sarpanches from Jhansla, Kallo Majra, Ramnagar, and Fatehpur Garhi were warmly welcomed, not as ceremonial figures but as integral voices in the day’s unfolding. Their presence affirmed the university’s commitment to building meaningful connections that extend beyond institutional boundaries.

The day carried moments of laughter, friendly competition, and open-hearted exchange. But more importantly, it underscored a lasting truth: community is not a gesture, it is a practice. At Chitkara University, every initiative that reaches outward is rooted in a deeper commitment to inclusion, respect, and trust. On that cricket field, it wasn’t just the game that moved forward, it was a shared spirit of belonging.
