"Ability is of little account without opportunity."
One of the most stimulating areas in Jain Vidyaniketan's educational
program is the calendar of sports events. The rural ambience
lends a distinctive touch of freshness and purity to the physical
activity involved in the numerous sporting disciplines.
Students have access to the entire range of equipment for
outdoor and indoor competition. Strict training for serious
athletes is coupled with fun and games for children who want
to participate only for the novelty of experience.
A majority of children encounter football, cricket, badminton
and tennicoit for the first time. In fact, marching
in a parade at their crisp, smart uniforms and regalia has
all the students literally glowing with pride and happiness.
Wonderful sights to see are the children speeding down the
tracks in a 100 meter dash or mastering a cricket stroke or
merely enjoying the variety of playing equipment on the vast
grounds.
Jain Vidyaniketan ensures its students take part in physical
activity by providing not only the paraphernalia for each
sport but also the expert guidance of its Physical Trainers.
In addition, a significant amount of time is dedicated to
teaching yoga and simple meditation exercises.
The results of these group activities are apparent in the
performance records of the students: excellence all
around.
