Physical fitness is now a matter of National Concern. The strength of a democracy lies in the collective well being of its people. Industrial development has given mechanical devices, such as automatic washers, vacuum cleaners and gas furnaces. These have reduced human work in domestic affairs. Television, radio, tape recorders, play stations and other such devices have made the lives of children and youth sedentary. Similarly, vehicles have reduced the volume of normal activities such as walking and moving around. Since activity is the basis of life, the human body cannot remain in normal condition without activity.
This deficiency can be made up by providing regular physical exercise to the masses. This can be made possible, on a large scale, through run for fun fitness programmes, adventure sports etc.
The Inter College Athletics Meet organized by University of Delhi provided a great platform to the budding sportsperson to showcase their talent and make people aware of the importance of physical wellbeing. The event was well received by the students from different colleges and they participated with great enthusiasm. One such student was Bharat Pratap Singh,a student of 1st yr B.A.(H) Political Sci. from Kirori Mal College who secured first rank in Javelin outshining other participants. He also stood 3rd at Junior National level. He gives credit for his good performance to his mentors Mr. Sunil Goswami, Mr. Gajender Rana (2ND World Railway International champion) and Dr. Pramod (Director of Physical Education).He has been practicising since last two years. His aim in life is to get recognition at international level and make India proud.
