VIT encourages and supports participation in sports as it provides numerous physical, mental, and social benefits, such as improved health, increased confidence, stress release, skill development, and improved academic achievement. Sports also promote teamwork, discipline, and resilience, which can lead to long-term benefits such as improved mental health, lower risk of chronic disease, and more job prospects. The students as well as the community are benefited from the sports facilities available in Vellore Institute of Technology.

Local community: Providing sports facilities to local community schools/students ensures that they have equitable access to these benefits, which promote physical exercise, mental health, and social integration. It provides opportunity for skill development, increased academic achievement, and the ability to gain confidence and leadership. It also paves the way for future opportunities, lowers the likelihood of delinquency, and promotes lifetime healthy behaviors. Access to sporting facilities motivates pupils, allowing them to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential. VIT has free access to few facilities, charged access to few and free access to all facilities. The category depends on the beneficiary and the type of event.
