National Sports Day, which is celebrated on 29th August every year, is dedicated to the memory of  renowned hockey player Major Dhyan Chand .  He was known for his extraordinary ball control and goal-scoring feats, in addition to earning three Olympic gold medals, in 1928, 1932 and 1936, during an era where India dominated field hockey. His influence extended beyond these victories, as India won the field hockey event in seven out of eight Olympics from 1928 to 1964. Our school celebrated National Sports Day with much enthusiasm this year, starting  with a speech about Major Dhyan Chand in the Assembly by   Krrish Vikram Jain, the Assistant Sports Captain,  who spoke about the significance of the date and also encouraged  students to inculcate physical activity in their daily routine to keep themselves fit and healthy. Later, we had an exciting  volleyball match between the teachers and the school volleyball team in which the teachers proved to be more sporty than our school team and thus won the match!  For students of Classes III to XII , we had various fun activities throughout the week starting from 24th August to 29th August. The activities included a lot of games like kho-kho, head shoulder knee toe, seven stones, balance the ball, air hoopie, giant tic-tac-toe. We ended the celebrations with a hard fought tug of war between Classes XI and XII. The Sports Department planned and organized these activities and said that sports should be a part of everyone’s life.
