Sports plays an important role in a student's life, at Manav Rachna International University.

Revisiting some of the important elements of success in a student’s life, Sports can be recognized as an essential contributor in shaping a successful academic life of a student.

When we talk of sports, it is narrowed down to the concept of playing ‘a’ particular game, or a sport.  When we talk of sports persons we often relate it with athletes or the sports champions and most necessarily in India, cricketers.

How a student’s life is associated with sports?

When we fail to associate sports as a way of life, we fail to decipher the meaning of the word ‘SPORTS’ and its benefits to all the members of the society.

The purpose of introducing sports in primary, secondary and university level of education is still a disillusioned subject in India.

Sports is often encouraged as a part of education system but now many perceive it as it being ‘education’ itself. Interest in any sporting activity allows students from any academic background to boost their confidence and rejuvenate themselves as they are exhausted by our rote learning system.

Sports field is the only platform where all students can weigh their own potential and stamina to fight and excel. A spirit of ‘do or die’ is generated giving each student hope to perform better in the next round. This essentially helps students in training their minds in the right manner and shaping positive attitude towards their career, as they can acknowledge failure and success with equal zeal.

Universities must encourage sports and ensure good infrastructural setups in the campus, for students to choose their interest games (indoor/outdoor). This is the most effective & efficient therapy as a part of improving the soft skills of the students, preparing them to take on the challenges in their respective fields with the same sporting spirit.

Most of the educational institutes facilitates compulsory extracurricular and physical education once every week. This however does not benefit students in long term as the goal to improve students’ state of health and physical condition can be achieved through regular sporting exercises.

Most of the Universities have sports centers to engage their students in different sporting disciplines which include badminton, table tennis, carom, cycling, basket ball, football and some brain cracking games like chess and sudoko.

Experience has shown that regular sports exercises are beneficial to students’ academic achievements and shared training often brings students together.
