SSM College in Dinanagar has established itself as a sporting powerhouse over the past two decades, securing the GNDU overall general sports championship (B Division) 17 times and finishing as runners-up three times. This success is attributed to Dr. Mukhwinder Singh, Head of the Sports Department, who emphasizes psychological resilience and provides financial support, including fee waivers, for athletes from disadvantaged backgrounds. The college's approach focuses on both physical prowess and mental strength, aiming for excellence despite limited regional employment opportunities for its students.
