No matter how much intellect or wealth
a person acquires, he can neither harvest his intellect nor can he enjoy his
wealth if his body does not support him. Hence, sports form an integral part of
every individual’s life. To mark the birthday of Major Dhyan Chand, the
National Sports Day is celebrated on the 29 August every year. In light of
this event, on the 30 August the Prerna Cell of NSS IIT Roorkee took to
educating and inspiring school children in Indian Sports.

The day began with a quiz on the vast legacy of Indian Sports. The
children participated with great cheer and enthusiasm. It proved an excellent
learning platform for both the children and the students of IIT Roorkee. It was
followed by a few games like ‘kabbadi’ and ‘kho-kho’ which portrayed the rich
cultural heritage of Indian Sports. The children put in their best efforts and
performed brilliantly in these games. Following this, the members of the Prerna
Cell sat down with these children, wherein the children opened up about their
love for sports and about their ambitions to grow up to become excellent sportspersons
for their country. The members talked to them about the meaning and importance
of terms like sportsmanship and teamwork.
