This event provided a great opportunity for college students to showcase their proficiency and skills in sports.
Serampore MLA Dr Sudipto Roy expressed concern about the current generation of students, who are either glued to their smartphones or rushing from one tuition teacher to another, which lets them lose interest in games.
Dr Sudipto Roy also emphasised that consuming food supplements and health drinks is of no use if one is not in the habit of regular exercise. He stated that promoting sports and games in educational institutions not only contributes to a healthy mind and body but also teaches discipline, patience, and fosters an attitude of healthy competition.
