Apart from the students contribution the University also take the services of college director for officiating and other duties from time to time.( coaching, acting as manager of University teams). College director of physical education Dr Sushant R Haldankar 1. Team Manager of Goa University for west zone interuniversity cricket men team at Bhopal (MP) 2. Team manager of Goa University for west zone interuniversity kabaddii men team at Amravati (Maharashtra). 3. Team manager of Goa University for west zone interuniversity kabaddi men team at Kholapur (Maharashtra).

College director with the support of Principal Dr. D.B.Arolkar and mandals Chairman Shri Shrikrishna Pokle tries to prepare the inter collegiate teams at par with other colleges dispite the fact that college doesn‘t have a proper playground and proper sports infrastructure .most of time we have to rely on government bodies for making available the play fields and sports playfield and also for coaches , though there are many schemes and polices of govt for developing the play fields and sports arenas the process is time consuming and never ending, also the college director becomes one men army when it comes to inter murals and intra mural activities. I hope in near future the conditions will improve and additional support staff and better working conditions will be available the department personal.
