Sports and
games have an important role to play in the
growth and development
of the mind and body. Indian history of sports dates back
to the Vedic times when physical
exercises were considered to be a mandatory part of religious
rituals.
The importance of sports and games in life
is highlighted by the fact that it has social; emotional
as well as physical nuances. It helps people to learn to
adapt to their environment. It improves social relationships
with the people around us.
Participating in team events helps in developing
common goals and camaraderie that nurtures young students
for life. Sports and games also provide the much-needed
recreation and respite from the daily stress of life. It
teaches the importance of sportsman spirit, obeying rules
and regulations and hard-work. It also helps us in developing attributes such as
responsibility, self-confidence, sacrifice, discipline and
accountability. Last but not the least, physical exercises
help in keeping diseases at bay, thereby improving health
and fitness.

in life we have provides a modern infrastructure and sports

Hockey Ground, Kho-Kho Ground, two Basketball Courts and
