Importance of sports in student’s life
When we talk about a student, an image of a child with a school 
bag and lots of books comes in our mind. However, the 
environment of a school should not just be confined to academics. 
Only academics would make a child bookworm. That is why there 
are many other activities that are essential for the holistic 
development of students. These include extracurricular activities 
and sports.
To some parents, sports & games may appear as wastage of 
time. However, sports are essential for complete development of 
the students. Sports not only keep the students healthy but these 
also contribute to their mental development. Sports allow the 
students to get rid of their monotonous routine. These also instill 
personality traits like confidence, self-esteem, team spirit, 
compassion, etc, in the students.
At MIT Vishwashanti Gurukul, we understand the 
importance of sports in student’s life. That is why physical 
education is one of the significant components of the school. 
Being one of the top residential schools in India, we encourage 
our students to participate in sports & games. For this, we have a 
fixed schedule that every student has to follow. It includes an hour 
for games and sports daily. We have expert coaches for different 
sports who provide proper training to the students so that the 
aspirants can even pursue their career in the respective sport.
