Why ICT Marathon?

Marathon's have always acted as a platform for different communities coming together and collaborating with each other towards common cause or problem faced by them. These marathon's have been the representation of unity and strength, and drawing on from these principles, ICT marathon is a flagship event started by the sports club of ICT to help give to the society. Every year, the proceeds of this event go towards charity and cause associated NGO's.

This marathon acts as a forum to publicize the cause related to the NGO's we tie up with.
