An athletic event was organised by the Sports Council of India in Budgam. The children, especially the girls, were happy that they got a chance to participate. Participants said more and more children are indulging in sports and girls are getting representation in the playground to showcase their talent. Moreover, children can fight the temptation of drugs by indulging in sports. In addition, it reduces stress and provides relief. If children participate and win then they stand to gain. If they get awarded a National Certificate then for any entrance exam they get a special category and this is the biggest advantage of playing sports. Whether boys or girls, sports is beneficial for all and their mind gets diverted from bad habits like drugs towards something positive and beneficial.
