Composition | Sports
In India, people have been playing various sports since ancient times. Hockey has been declared the national game of the country. Kids, in particular, enjoy playing games in nearby playgrounds or participating in school activities. There are many sports events organized at different levels - school, district, state, national, and international - to encourage children and young people to participate. However, sometimes the poor performance of Indian athletes at national and international events like the Olympics or the Commonwealth Games highlights the inadequate support and facilities provided to athletes in India.
Indian athletes have yet to reach a high standard in international sports, but it seems that they may achieve it soon as sports opportunities and recognition have increased in recent years. The government has promoted sports extensively in schools and colleges. Indian athletes are actively participating in national and international sports, constantly striving to improve their quality and performance. In the last Olympic Games, Indian athletes won only a few gold medals, but they played with great courage and enthusiasm. India excels in many sports such as hockey, wrestling, and cricket.
The selection of the best athletes is done from students who perform well at school or state level competitions. The condition of sports in India has changed now, and it has become a promising field for gaining popularity and success. Sports and education are closely linked, and it's not necessary to choose one over the other. Playing sports is mandatory in schools, and teachers and parents should encourage children to participate for their growth, development, and the future of the country.
Sports enrich our lives in many ways. It teaches us discipline and perseverance to achieve our goals. It keeps us physically and mentally fit, contributing to our social, emotional, psychological, and intellectual well-being. Sports provide the best form of entertainment and help calm our minds in a polluted and stressful environment where everyone is ready to cause tension and create problems for others. Engaging in sports improves concentration and memory power while filling our minds with positive thoughts.
