‘Sports must for overall development’
Overall development of a person is possible only by participating in sports, opined Prof Indira, director of International Centre at University of Mysore.
She was speaking at the inauguration of the Inter-Collegiate Gymnastics, Swimming, Yogasana, Wrestling, Weight Lifting and Best Physique competitions-cum-selection trials at the University of Mysore in the city on Tuesday.
She said with the introduction of the semester system, students feel that competing in
sports is difficult. However, she advised students to continue being involved in sports despite the hectic schedule. Many sportspersons are losing opportunities due to the lack of support from government and sporting bodies, she observed.
