Children
today are neglecting physical activities and sports while getting addicted to
the computer and the mobile, opined Dr. Vijayendra, Principal scientist, CFTRI.
He gave statistics revealed by the World Health Organisation, which recommends
60 minutes of physical activity for children per day. Sports and games are very
important for the physical and intellectual growth of an individual, especially
children, and it is indeed a disturbing trend that latest electronic gadgets
are making children neglect sports and games completely. Further, he said that
people have forgotten the importance of walking. Parents should take the
initiative to keep their children healthy and fit by physical activities, and
here Hari Vidyalaya is doing a commendable job by organising such sports events
for little children.
