"A healthy mind in a healthy body,"
that's the reason-de-ettre of RIMC, which has excellent facilities
for all team and individual games, amongst the finest in schools
of the country. Sports and games every afternoon play an important
role to foster team spirit and provide a welcome break from
studies. In the January term the major games are cricket, Hockey
and Boxing whereas in the July term they are Football, Swimming
and Athletics. The college arranges personalized coaching for all
major games and sports. Shooting and Riding have also become part
of sporting activities where cadets have started excelling.. The college Cricket,
Athletics and Squash
teams have earned a respectable place amongst the public schools.
Each day begins with Physical
Training. Squad Drill is once a week. These two organized
activities under experienced instructors develop loco motor
functions, enhance physical growth, improve turnout and bearing
and inculcate a sense of discipline and obedience. Obstacles are a
part of life. Obstacles in physical dimension train the young to
develop problem solving skills and a sense of fearlessness.
There is intense but friendly
inter-section rivalry in the playing fields as well as in other
co-curricular activities for obtaining top honor for their teams.
RIMC is a member of the Indian
Public School Conference (IPSC), a progressive organization of
over 70 leading residential schools of country devoted to the
cause of promoting excellence in education. There are many
inter-school competitions in games and curricular activities at
local, IPSC, state and national levels, with the college teams
trained by expert coaches and members of the faculty. Our boys
have done very well and have earned respectable positions in such
organized competitions. RIMC is also an associate member of Round
Square International service (RSIS), a forum that deals among other things with
exchange programs with schools overseas. The boys are empowered
through community service work projects, exchange programmes and
adventure which may take them half way round the globe.
Twice a week in the afternoons hobby
clubs function. This forms an important feature of the daily
activities of the students and complements the academic
curriculum. It also promotes social and cultural values among the
boys. We have the Young Newton and Alchemists for budding
scientists; Art, Craft and Journalism for the one's having a flair
for creativity; Music, Dance and Drama for performing artists;
Gardening for the environment lovers; Riding and Shooting for
the adventurous ones and Aero Modeling for those aiming to reach
the sky.
EXCURSION & ADVENTURE
Ample opportunities is given and
students are encouraged to pursue adventure sports like Trekking,
Long
Distance Cycling through flat and hilly terrain, Mountaineering,
Skiing, White Water Rafting and Para Sailing. Our young boys have
excelled and earned daring feats for themselves. Recreational excursions to places of interest
during mid term breaks help them relax and unwind. Training
cruises on board Indian Naval Ships to Andaman or Lakshdweep
Island is almost a regular feature in January every year. Cadets
have also Sailed on INS Taragani along stretches around the globe. |
