வேட்டையாடு விளையாடு 2008

“Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu” (Hunt & Play) 2008 is an island-wide one-day race event which involves the finding of clues at respective checkpoints to discover the next destination and performing certain tasks at each checkpoint.

SIMICC holds the distinction of organizing this first ever event-of-its-kind to be organized at tertiary level.
