Sports are not the only source of entertainment or character building but it has a greater impact on personal traits to overcome all sorts of failures and to vie for success in a greater arena of life, said Secondary Education Director Bibhu Prasad Sarangi in the three-day annual athletic meet of the DAV Public School, Chandrasekharpur here on Wednesday.
School chairman MM Panda presided over the meeting while Principal Dr KC Satapathy highlighted the sporting achievements of the school and emphasised on including it as an important aspect of curriculum.
The almost extinct Sadhaba Bohu ‘lalli’ was the mascot of the meet. On the occasion march past by four houses, band show, lighting of sports flame, cracking of fire busters, colourful drill and yogic exercises were performed.
Meritorious students and parents were also honoured on the occasion. Among others, ARD Deep Gambhir, school coordinator Indira Bhattacharya, Headmistress Sanjita Sahu and Principals of other DAV institutions were present.
