The 26th Annual Sports Meet of Shiksha Kendra Matriculation Higher Secondary School and Shiksha Greenwoods School was held on its campus in Pallikonda town, Vellore, on Friday.
Olympian V. Devarajan, chief guest, stressed the role of sports in building discipline, teamwork and leadership, and urged students to aim for global competitiveness. He called on parents to support children in sports and extracurricular activities for well-rounded development.
Vivekananda House won the March Past Shield, Mother Teresa House the Discipline Shield, and Mahaveer House the Overall Championship Trophy. The event was presided over by chairman P.N.S. Thirunavukkarasu, along with school officials.
Indian Opinion Analysis
School annual sports meets remain a staple in Tamil Nadu's private-school calendar, often serving as a platform for students to showcase physical fitness beyond academics. The involvement of an Olympian as chief guest adds a motivational layer, though the event itself follows a familiar format of house competitions and trophies. With schools increasingly emphasising holistic education, such meets help institutionalise discipline and team spirit from an early age. The next such gathering for these schools will likely be next academic year's annual day or sports day.
