Education refers to the all round development of the students. Education is incomplete until there is an all round development of the student. All-round development includes physical development, mental development, economic development, social development and spiritual development of boys/girls. The state government and the secondary and basic education department are committed for the all-round development of crores of students studying in secondary and basic schools of the state. In the field of sports, the players of that country increase the value of any country on the international stage and from this the place and health of sports in the education system of that country can also be assessed. School sports are not only a means for the students to gain international fame but are also essential for their health.

The concept of “Healthy Body, Healthy Mind” requires physical education as a compulsory subject in the curriculum of the students. About crores of students are studying in the schools of the state. Despite having such a strong strength, the absence of the name of the state in the top places in the medal table of school national competitions is a matter of concern. The status of school sports in the state can be further strengthened by upgrading the facilities being provided to the school students of the state in the field of sports. Through school sports, the performance of the students of the state will not only improve in national competitions, but the students of the state will also participate in world level competitions and bring laurels to the country and the state.
