ANNUAL SPORTS DAY SPEECH

A very good afternoon to Respected Principal, Mrs.D Aparna,

Headmistress, Mrs. Asha G Kumarand the staff of CRPF Public School. I am
thankful to the Principal and the school for having inviting me to this fulfilled
Gala event. I have always believed that extra-curricular activities should be
an indispensable part of every student’s life, especially during his/her early
academic years.

I would like to first congratulate all the CBSE toppers, the winners of
the Sports and Non-sports events like Olympiad toppers and academic
toppersfor their tremendous efforts, dedication and continuous perseverance
which has made you reach the pinnacle of success today.

To those who participated, but could not win I would like to tell you,
that whether you have won a medal or not, you are all winners as your
participation, irrespective of winning will yield rich dividends in terms of
fitness, well-being, and happiness in the long Run. You all showed a great
perseverance on the field and gave a really tough competition to other
teams and opponents.

I would urge the students that your participation into sports, or into
any athletic event, should not stop when you get out of school. It should be
a daily or a weekly habit as you go out into the world to learn and earn.

Today, most youngsters are content with video or computer games to

while away their free time. I have nothing much against computers and the
Internet because we need these to be competitive in this cyber age, but
please strike a balance between these and activities which require you to go
out of the house and flex your muscles because you need a healthy body in
order to have a healthy and sharp mind. A healthy body also keeps us away
from all unhealthy practices and habits. Moreover children, sports and
games boost our self-esteem, Reduce pressures and stress, enhance our
problem solving skills etc. keeping all these advantages in mind the
Government t of India has come up with the following programs like Fit India
Movement., Khelo India. SAI Training Centers Scheme, Sports Talent Search
Portal etc to name a few.

The drills were in perfect coordination, It was good to witness the

sportsmanship and the team work of all the houses and teams. Today’s
kaleidoscopic performances by all the students of the school were a treat for
the eyes, Iam sure the audience, will agree with me.

Towards the end, I would like to congratulate and offer my best wishes
to the Principal ,Mrs. D. Aparna ,congratulations to the Head Mistress ,Mrs
Asha G Kumar and all the faculty members, as without your hard work and
support, nothing would have been possible and the students wouldn’t have
been able to excel, in various areas of sports and academics.

Have a great and happy new year!!
