The two day tournament was conducted by the Sports Council of the university.

In the men’s event, the team from Khallikote Autonomous College defeated the MKCG medical College to become champion. The girls from the Khallikote Autonomous College repeated the feat by defeating Mahamayee college team to lift the women’s title. The secretary of the Sports Council of the Berhampur University, Prof. Subash Chandra Parida handed over the trophies to the winning teams.

Table Tennis is yet to pick up in big way in south Orissa due to lack of infrastructure at educational institutes for this game. This was 39th inter-college event of the sport for men’s conducted by the university. But it was for the 17th time girls of colleges of the university were meeting for an inter-collegiate tournament.

Prof. Parida said plans are on to develop infrastructure for table tennis in all major colleges in near future.
