Sports are an integral part of education and a means to achieve physical and mental health. It is a curricular model in physical education that aims to help students ‘develop as competent, literate, and enthusiastic sportspersons’.
Sports Infrastructure and Training Facility
During a preliminary assessment in the Bhadla district, it was discovered that students did not engage in or play even the traditional sports. Saurya Urja has undertaken many projects in the field to improve the environment for traditional sports such as Kabaddi, Volley Ball, Athletics, and Yoga in order to strengthen the students of 34 government schools around the Bhadla area with the power of sportsmanship. Here are some of the key highlights of the work done by Saurya Urja in 34 government schools and 2 learning centers:
- Development of sports infrastructure
- Distribution of sports equipment to provide active and regular training
- Encouraging sports education and holistic (physical, social and cognitive) development of the students through regular sports training and assessment
- Survey of Parents on sports orientation and base-lining a physical test
- Inter-school sports tournaments to develop sportsmanship and leadership qualities
Sports Training for Holistic Learning
Saurya Urja began these activities in February 2020, and the effects of these initiatives can be observed in an increase in the number of students enrolled and attending Government schools. The company aims to continue encouraging sports education and holistic (physical, social, and cognitive) growth of students in 34 government schools and two learning centres through this initiative, which will reach over 3000 students in three panchayats of the bap block in Rajasthan.
