The Story in Brief
Former India cricketer and selector MSK Prasad on Saturday urged parents to encourage their children rather than pressure them. Speaking at the annual sports day of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's Sri Venkateswara Vidyalaya in Tirupati, he said every child is unique and should not be compared with others. He also distributed prizes to students. School principal D. Padmaja stressed the role of sports in building character, while honorary director N. Satyanarayana Raju called for balancing academics and games.
The Indian Opinion
The call to ease pressure on children is well-intentioned, but too often such advice stays at the podium. The real test is whether parents and schools back it with action, lighter bags, fewer extra classes, and genuine play time. Instead of clichés during prize distributions, we need systemic change. Will this visit lead to any actual policy shift in how the school measures success?
