SRI SRI ANIRUDDHADEVA SPORTS UNIVERSITY

Sri Sri Aniruddhadeva Sports University (SSAU) is named after a great Vaishnava saint who was a social reformer in Assam during the mediaeval period. This is the first sports university in the north east region established by the Government of Assam in Chabua, Dibrugarh on December 10, 2018. The emblem of the university has a six pillared facade of a red building crested by a running human in black and red colours and supported by yellow laurels on both the sides. At the bottom the name of the State ‘Assam’ is written. Basically pillars are the bridge to heaven from earth and pillar means strength, security of foundation and trustworthiness. Six pillared facades can represent the six days of creation, the six directions (north, south, east, west, up and down) or the six senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch and thought). In Hindu philosophy they denote six chakras. The laurels are symbols of victory and achievement. They are often used in awards ceremonies and they are also a popular choice for graduation ceremonies and are a reminder of the hard work and dedication that it takes to achieve success and the runner symbolises sports.
