Sports to be a compulsory function in Schools: Government Plan

From 2018 onwards, school curriculum will integrate sports as a mandatory part of school curriculam. A sports ministry proposal to this effect is in the finishing stage, a senior ministry official said on Sunday.

Sports will



be a subject and students will have to score a pass percentage for it.

The policy is likely to be rolled out in phases, first making it compulsory in Class 1st in 2018 and then introducing it in higher classes.
