Gurukul Hyderabad Honoured At 1st Telangana Sports Conclave

Jay Swaminarayan 🙏

We are proud to share a moment of great honour and recognition for Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul International School – Hyderabad.

The institution was privileged to be invited under the VIP Category of Telangana to participate in the inaugural edition of the Telangana Sports Conclave – a prestigious platform dedicated to celebrating sporting excellence and youth development.

This esteemed invitation stands as a testimony to our school’s remarkable contribution in nurturing sports talent and promoting holistic education across the state.

With world-class sports infrastructure, professional coaching, and a strong commitment to value-based training, Gurukul has built a lasting legacy in shaping champions across diverse disciplines — Cricket, Football, Athletics, Basketball, Kabaddi, and more.

A key highlight of our sports journey is the annual Gurukul Olympics, now in its 9th year — Hyderabad’s largest interschool sports festival, bringing together over 100+ schools and 10,000+ student-athletes. Aligned with the vision of the ‘Fit India Movement’, Gurukul Olympics stands as a living example of how education and sports can come together to foster discipline, unity, and national spirit. It is not just a tournament — it is a movement toward holistic youth development, a platform that encourages leadership, sportsmanship, and cultural pride.

Our students have not only excelled at the state level but have also proudly represented Telangana, India, and even at international arenas, consistently embodying the values of dedication, discipline, and excellence that Gurukul instills.

Being part of the 1st Telangana Sports Conclave is a historic milestone in our journey. It reflects the trust and recognition bestowed upon us by the Government of Telangana for our unwavering commitment to nurturing future-ready youth through a perfect blend of sports, values, and education.
