Health & Physical Education
Health & Physical Education to be part of CBSE Curriculum! Glad about this wonderful initiative!!! However we have been doing this as part of the school Curriculum as PE and SEWA from Grade 1. The same curriculum has now been taken into CBSE .
Physical, Social and Mental developments aid academics and our kids have been religiously engaging in both these areas right from their formative years.
Congratulations to the CBSE board for this marvellous move and wish every school in the country implement it fairly ! CHEERS!!!
