Physical Education and Sports at GDGVM: A Priority

Sports and Games as a vital component of social and cultural life are embedded in the Indian heritage. Swami Vivekananda said: “A weak person, weak in body and mind cannot possess a strong soul”. Our Guru dev himself was a freedom fighter in his youth and was adept in Yoga.
Moreover, our students primarily are from rural areas and with potential raw material to be developed in to high class achievers. We wish to provide all facilities and opportunities to build in them a competitive spirit and aspire for the best-in-class performance. Sports is a great medium for physical, Social, cognitive and emotional development of youth. Generally, schools are encouraged to participate actively in the government schemes of “Rural sports through a Special area Games approach”. Under this, schools that make available sports grounds of adequate size and quality are chosen to be centers of district/ state level activities. Such an opportunity, therefore, also provides the students of such schools to have access to higher level of competition and attainments. At GDGVM we have provided for over HALF HECTARE of land exclusively for creating a sports ground for multiple sports, as well as a stadium. With the existing facilities we have created teams for boys and girls for Kabaddi and volleyball. Coaches have been engaged to hone their skills. Matches and competitive tournament participation have been held and our teams have performed fairly well at the district level.

The Proposed Project for Sports ground of acceptable standards as per prevailing Sports regulatory authorities

GDGVM, located at Panchayat Badakotecha, Tehsil Tinwari, Dist Jodhpur in the state of Rajasthan, is ideally placed to be a centre for sports activities for students/ youth from villages in the radii of 30 kms. Almost 500 schools in the vicinity can be potential beneficiaries.
A comprehensive Physical Education program has been drawn up that comprises almost 7 periods per week dedicated for upper classes to this activity. A full-time physical education teacher will be in charge of this.
The proposed project will create outdoor playing grounds needed for delivering sports and games for students of GDGV as well as from nearby schools. The full project will, over a period of few years and in phase-wise execution, provide the following facilities;
