Swami Vivekananda said, "It is easy to reach God through a game of football than through prayer." Since God can be best reached  through education, education needs the inclusion of sports. Post Liberalization, Globalization and Privatization, Indian youth have been facing the cut-throat competition from within and outside the country. Such an atmosphere demands nerves of steel, muscles of iron and minds like thunderbolt, as the great saint Vivekananda wanted his countrymen to possess. Needless to say, these can only be acquired through proper and continuous physical activities and the importance of sports need not be overstated. But quite strangely and contrarily, even students are denied Physical Education while at school.

The 7 am to 7 pm non-stop, runoff-the-mill, rote mugging virtually making all the  students in their adolescent age: human machines. Such information overdose is resulting in physical and mental side-effects like lack of creativity, obesity, easy prey for negative thoughts, inability to handle pressure, hormonal influences and human relationships.

In this background, Educationists and sports lovers have for long been demanding that sports and games be made an integral part of school curricula. For they believed that  sports enable one to attain sound mind and body, increased self-control, discipline, concentration, ability to take failures in right spirit and more importantly, a positive frame of mind which strives and strives till success is achieved. Ever since sportssavvy N. Kiran Kumar Reddy assumed the Chief Minister’s post, educationists and sports lovers in particular, people in general expected some new initiatives to boost hitherto neglected arena. True to the expectations, Chief Minister had announced that sports period will be made compulsory in all schools. In continuation and pursuance to the CM’s announcement, Commissioner and Director of School Education, Department of Scholl Education had issued Government Order No. 63 on 26th July, 2012 increasing the number of Physical Education periods from 3 to 6 a week. That means all the classes will have one PET period every day. Also, in a view to provide suitable infrastructure.
