SPORTS ROUND-UP

Sports and games are not mere physical activities alone. They play a more significant role in making people
confident, adaptable, alert, and happy. A sport as a career choice is still not a lucrative option for many in our country.
Sports teach many life skills required for good conduct in the society. Children in sports learn to follow the rules and
respect teammates and opponents. As adults, they will not readily resort to dubious and corrupt practices. Playing
games increase concentration power.

conducted Inter house games and sports events this year as per the plan. We fielded our school teams in CBSE
