"Sports and athletics will help a person develop fully. Not just it will keep you physically fit and strong, but it will further ignite your mind to do something different from others in life. If you are just confining to your books and academics it will not help you much to resolve and withstand the real problems that you may face in your future life," said the chief guest, while advocating the school children to contribute their some valuable time to sports, in addition to their academics.
