Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Memorial Tournament (SSBMT) is a platform created by CSIR Sports Promotion Board to bring together the participation of different CSIR laboratories to build a committed CSIR family and create team spirit, leadership and zeal to excel against all odds. SSBMT organized in the fond memory of our illustrious and founder Director General Dr. Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar has become a regular and important activities in the calendar of CSIR. The year 1955 is the sad day of CSIR history when we lost the great architect of CSIR, Sir Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar. Some sports enthusiasts, led by late Sri S. P. Kaushika, an officer in the CSIR Headquater, thought it fit to organize an annual tournament in memory of Sir S. S. Bhatnagar, who among other things was a sports lover too. The event was initially held among two laboratories and CSIR headquarter. With the joining in CSIR of the Late P.M. Sundaram as the Joint Secretary, he with the approval of the DG CSIR Prof. M.S. Thacker, converted the sport meet to an all India event by inviting other laboratories to participate. It was decided to hold the tournament SSBMT every two years in other laboratories so that people of different regions, different cultures and different languages come together and interact with each other while participating in the sports events. The CSIR Headquarters Staff Club used to organize the tournament in CSIR laboratories over a period of 7 to 8 days, every alternate year. The S. S. Bhatnagar Tournament held at CSIR-NPL, Delhi could be termed as the first All India CSIR tournament. CSIR-CLRI Chennai was the first venue away from Delhi in the year 1958. In first few years, it was organized biannually with competitions in games of Cricket, Volleyball, Table Tennis, Badminton, Chess, Carrom and Bridge. The CSIR-SPB endeavors to encourage the spirit of sportsmanship in every member of the CSIR Family amidst their other talents. Over a period of time, members of the Board felt the need for standardizing the practice of conducting these tournaments both at the Zonal and the National levels in a planned and organized manner.
