Ernakulam District all set for State level Vipra Vismayam

The Kerala Brahmana Sabha, Ernakulam District will field a team of 60 contingents for the state level Vipra Vismayam 2010/11 – the Sports & Games Competitions – to be held on 5th and 6th of February 2011 at Kochi. The District has qualified to participate in almost all the disciplines of Vipra Vismayam in junior and senior category.

A meeting of the officials and District Team Manager was held on 2nd January 2011 at Ernakulam took stock of the preparation of the District teams in the various disciplines.

Later, briefing the details V. Krishnaswami said the winners and their respective Upasabhas will be informed with the details of the State level competitions in time. They also will be provided a schedule of events for convenience. R. Hariharaputhran, District Joint Secretary will be the chef-de-mission of the Ernakulam contingent for the Games. Two deputies to assist him will be named later.

The 2 day District level Vipra Vismayam was held at FACT Udyogamandal Campus on 11th and 12th of December 2010. The conduct of the events was smooth and transparent which drew much appreciation. As the winners are to represent Ernakulam District in State level, it became a selection trial for the participants. V. Krishnaswami appreciated M. Vanchiswaran, General Convener and his team for the structured organizing of Vipra Vismayam in district level.

The venue - FACT Udyogamandal Campus - was compact with all aminities in hand-strech distance. Shuttle Badminton was played simultaniously in three wooden courts and at the same time, Cricket matches were held in the Cricket ground. Transportation was arranged to pick-and-drop the players from the main venue. Schedule of events was prepared in such a way to avoid clash between same players participating in different events. Food and refreshments were provided in packets for all - players and escorting officials from Upasabhas - in time. Professional Umpires/Referees/Arbiters were appointed for accurate verdict and perfection.

As Ernakulam District is hosting the State level Vipra Vismayam, the participants from the district will be asked to report directly to the venue in which the competitions of their respective disciplines are held, Krishnaswami said.
