The senior BJP leader said today Sports is not just an extracurricular activity but an integral part and parcel of education. Beyond the physical benefits, sports instill essential values like teamwork, discipline, and resilience, which are crucial for personal development and success in life. Engaging in sports activities fosters holistic growth, promoting mental agility and emotional well-being alongside academic achievements.

He encouraged them to submit their recommendations through written submissions, missed calls, or via the NAMO App, ensuring their voices are heard in the policymaking process.
