Physical Education

About the Department

   The Department of Physical Education at our college was established in 1971, coinciding with the founding of the college. Our Founder, Swami Chidbhavananda Maharaj, emphasised the necessity of physical improvement for students’ betterment. Consequently, he included “HAND” as one of the college’s mottos. Hence, the Department of Physical Education holds significant importance in our institution.

   Physical education is defined as “education through the physical.” It aims to develop an individual’s physical competence and knowledge of movement and safety, as well as their ability to utilise these skills to perform in a wide range of activities associated with the development of an active and overall healthy lifestyle.

   Games and sports play a prominent role in the all-around development of a student’s life. Alongside traditional academic pursuits, students should also dedicate time to engaging in games and sports. A curriculum that integrates physical education as a core subject would be an additional benefit to students in their future endeavours.
