History

1972-1980: The Institute was established in 1972 as the University Sports Complex, with the aim of providing physical education services to the University of Delhi and its surrounding colleges.

1980-1990: In 1980, it was renamed as Indira Gandhi Institute of Physical Education & Sports Sciences (IGIPESS). This institute added many courses that would enable students to pursue a career in sports. This decade also saw IGIPESS host many regional, national and international level competitions.

1990-2000: During this time period, the institute was given spaces by various Universities such as Banaras Hindu University, Haryana Sports Authority and Andhra Pradesh State Government for affiliation purposes. During this time period, the number of students increased significantly, surpassing 1000 students and multiple international seminars were organized by IGIPESS including the World Congress of Sports Medicine.

2000-2010: A centre for Competitive Exams for Physical Education CETPE was introduced which was approved by IGNOU and provided a range of diplomas in physical education programs. This decade also saw significant improvement in infrastructure, with facilities like an aero-modelling track being created in 2010 near Old Rajinder Nagar Campuses. This track is used for training athletes intending to take part in air sports activities.

2010–Present: This decade saw the immense establishment of school linkages with over 210 affiliations with various schools to enhance research purposes amongst others, leading to better development opportunities. To further develop sports science education at IGIPESS, the Department of Health Science integrated 4-year bachelor’s program called ‘B.Sc. (Hons) Sports Science’ was introduced aside from master’s programs such as M.Sc. Nutrition & Exercise Physiology, MS Mathematics & Physical Education amongst others. Furthermore, renowned personalities such as Yogeshwar Dutt have been appointed to advanced faculties, increasing research opportunities and leaps ahead since then.

Best Practices

Teachers should focus on creating an engaging and empowering environment for students to encourage healthy competition and proper physical education learning.
Comprehensive lesson plans should be created for each lesson to ensure that the teacher has identified the objectives, activities, learning resources, assessments and performance tasks for the day.
Create a learning atmosphere where inclusivity and team spirit take centre stage, making sure everyone gets an equal opportunity to participate and contribute.
Provide ample opportunities for practice with different kinds of sports equipment so that students have a good familiarity with them before having competitive practice or during tournaments.
Foster a dynamic curriculum aimed at facilitating strength, speed, agility, coordination & flexibility adequately catering to students’ individual skill sets and interests
Have timeouts planned every day in between classroom teaching sessions that include fun physical activity games or exercises like yoga or tai chi suitable for all ages
Provide alternative options when assessing student’s performance like music-based activities instead of traditionally tracking their track times etc that makes learning enjoyable
