DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORTS
Sports has gained tremendous popularity all over the globe and this healthy trend is likely to continue in the future also. China, Japan, and South Korea have made good progress in the sports field. The secrets of their success are the coordinated efforts of various agencies involved in promotion of sports, Creation of infrastructure from the grassroot level and intensive coaching. As compared to them , there has been continuous deterioration in India’s performance over the years despite various Sports programmes.
The main problem lies with the lack of sports culture in country. In our educational curricula, more emphasis is on academics and sports remains a most neglected area. Parents also do not like to encourage their children to take up sports seriously as it does not offer many career opportunities.
A healthy mind is a healthy body is an old saying that stresses the importance of sports and physical activities. We at SDM Law College and Centre for Post Graduate Studies and Research in Law believe differently. We believe that you win some, you lose some while we mostly win. We have decided that it is high time that our well wishers and the society are informed about our achievements in sports and so we are bringing out a book in this regard. It gives me immense pleasure to write the foreword and it is with great pride in the achievements of our students that I present this book to you.
