National Sports Day

    On 29th August our department of English celebrated "The National Sport Day" at university sports ground  all the Sem-1 and sem-3 students took part in the various game. Department H.O.D. Dilip Barad also join with us we played many games like tennis, badminton, cricket etc. This kind of various game make us physically strong and mentally pleased.

   The National Sport Day is celebrated 29th August every year in the memory of Major Dhyanchand "Hockey ka Jadugar". This day celebrated on his birthday and he won gold medals for India in Olympics. Major Dhyanchand's contributions for India was remarkable. I read somewhere that when Indian team was playing with Germany in the presence of Adolf Hitler, Dhyanchand's every shorts to Hitler like bullet of gun and after the match Hitler proposed Dhyanchand to join Germany team as a German player and temptation for higher rank in German force, but Dhyanchand rejected his proposal and said I always playing for my country. So we have seen from that how Dhyanchand's loyalty and love for India thats why India celebrated The National Sports Day in the memories of Major Dhyanchand...On this day Indian President Ramnath Kovind honoured former hockey player Sardar Singh and paralympic player Devendra Jhajhriya with Rajiv Gandhi Khelratna Award at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

   I heartily thanks to Mr.Dilip Barad who arranged sports day and rewind the memory of Dhyanchand and also thanks to our senior students for arranged this kind of activities.

Thank you
