The Backbone of BOSM
Committee of Students for Sports Activities
CoSSAc is a student body responsible for the organization of BITS Open Sports Meet (BOSM), the annual sports extravaganza of BITS Pilani. Since BOSM's inception in 1986, the CoSSAc has been pivotal to its growth and continues to uphold the fest's status as one of the largest student-managed sports fests in the country.
The CoSSAc constitutes the four members of the Sports Council along with the four heads of the major departments:
- Department of Controls, BOSM

Other clubs and departments responsible for various activities during the fest are headed by coordinators answerable to the CoSSAc. The body also plays a role in screening nominations of candidates to the post of Sports Secretary and Joint Sports Secretary.

From the Desk
Besides just being fun, sports teach life lessons. It goes well beyond the concept of it as a way to remain healthy and in shape; it helps build a wide array of abilities that include teamwork, self-confidence, leadership, accountability, strategic thinking and action, and many others leading to the making of a complete individual. It is an excellent stress buster and creates an environment conducive to effective learning which is so important for a student. I urge the youth to partake in sports; there is so much to win in so many attributes of student life.
Beating the system in just one territory is never enough to substantiate you as a leader. Sports is an imperative plug-in while weaving the fabric of an impeccable life in this infinite-dimensional world. It doesn’t only keep your bag of bones in place but braces you for getting a handle on the hardships of life as well. One must have the spirit for concurring in such tournaments and should employ every nerve to action for reaping all the perks it has to offer.
