Since its inception in 1968, Mehr Chand Mahajan DAV College for Women, Chandigarh has been a pioneer on various fronts. Living up to this reputation, the college is proud to be the first institution in Chandigarh to have introduced the adventure facility of rock climbing which meets all international standards. Introduced in the year 2005, the climbing rock is 12 mt high and 5 mt wide. After COVID forced the discontinuance of the facility, it is now operational again wherein anyone can pursue this sport under expert guidance. The Physical Education Department of the college is providing training in rock climbing to the students under the Fit India Movement initiative of Government of India. Principal Dr. Nisha Bhargava informed that training sessions in rock climbing are being organised for the college students as well as females from outside. Highlighting the importance of this physically demanding facility, Dr. Bhargava said that conquering an ascension requires fitness and agility alongwith mental fortitude.
