SHEARFORCE is an INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORTS TOURNAMENT host entirely by PVPCOA with an intention of strengthening fraternal bonds amongst the Architectural colleges primarily from the state of Maharashtra.
Shearforce is an event which is very energetically and enthusiastically nourished and nurtured since its inception by Shri. Jitendra Pitaliya (Secretary, VIT Trust). It is the brain child of Ar. Piyush Sheopuri (ex-student of PVPCOA) and Ar. Prasanna Desai (Director, PVPCOA) and was executed by Ar. Chinmay Shah and Ar. Vishal Sonigra (ex-students of PVPCOA) on the lines of Bauhaus School of Thought, which was the first college of Architecture to insist that Sports in also important in a school of architecture for the all round development and well-being of the students of Architecture. This initiative is entirely handled at the ground level by the students teams and volunteers from PVPCOA.
