Subject: CBSE Inter School Sports & Games Programme 2007-2008 reg.

It is pleasure to note that when today the Govt. of India is thriving for the promotion of sports
at grass root level, the CBSE is shouldering the responsibilities by way of providing a platform
for the school children for various sporting competitions. The CBSE is a ‘Sports Nursery’ in true
sense and is determined to produce better and talented sports persons for the nation. The
Bronze Medal won by Ms Sinimol Paulose, who is a product of CBSE Inter School Sports & Games
Programme, at recently held Doha Asian Games is a clear indication that the performances of
the CBSE athletes can be compared to the events organized by the other recognized sports
bodies in the country. I would like to convey my sincere thanks to all the Heads of the schools
affiliated to the Board for the support being provided for the success of the CBSE Inter School
Sports & Games Programme.
