Dhrubotara's sports event returned in January 2025 after a gap of 5 years (since the start of Covid). It was attended by all students, families and volunteers from the two communities of Joihoripur and Makhalpur. For the first time it took place at Joihoripur. The sports field near Makhalpur, but owned by others, had become overgrown with shrubs and long grass to the extent that it was no longer usable. The sports field at JHP is well used and maintained by the community.

Events were : 100 meters races, long jump, ball throw for youngest, and the inter-villages football match. This match consists of 2 x 20 minute halves and is a very hard fought affair between the two teams, partly older school students and partly young working chaps. It was won 2 : 1 by Joihoripur.

Prizes (1st, 2nd, 3rd) were given for all events by age group, and a small cash prize to the footballers of both teams. A snack of muri (puffed rice), samosa and banana was give to all children and volunteers. It was a successful and happy day and will be repeated every year in the cool season on 23 January.
