but also play an important role in building children's personality and

the state government is giving equal importance to both education and sports for

the all-round development of children. Today, children studying in the schools

develop their talents in sports, cultural activities and other fields along

with their studies.

such events provide them with an opportunity to showcase their abilities. He

today will bring glory to the state and country at the national and

condition of council schools was considered very poor, but during the tenure of

the Yogi government, the schools have undergone a comprehensive transformation.

Today, most of the schools in the state have been provided with basic

facilities and children are being provided with a better learning environment.

receives a quality education and the opportunity to excel in sports. He

sports talent, and players who win medals at the national and international

levels are honored and provided with government job opportunities.
