On the occasion of National Sports Day, Narayana Schools proudly celebrated the achievements of their talented young athletes, emphasising the vital role sports play in developing well-rounded individuals. National Sports Day is celebrated on 29th August, marking the birth anniversary of Major Dhyan Chand – India’s legendary hockey player. To mark this special event, Narayana Schools shared inspiring stories from some of their national and international sports players, showcasing the spirit of perseverance, dedication, and excellence that sports embody.
Narayana Schools organised Sports Day events across all branches in India, with activities including a sports quiz titled “Quizletics” and various other sporting events. The motto for the day, “Unite, Play, Inspire,” encapsulated the spirit of sportsmanship and teamwork that the day sought to celebrate.
One of the highlights of the event was the speech by V. Anagha, who recently secured first place in the Japan Shotokan Open Karate Championship. Her story was a testament to the values of persistence and dedication that sports can instil in young minds, inspiring everyone present to strive for their own personal best.
Additionally, Narayana’s international Cestoball player, K. Shobhita, shared her experience participating in the Indo-Malaysian International Cestoball Championship held in Malaysia, where her team emerged victorious. She spoke about how her continuous practise and commitment to the sport have shaped her character, making her more disciplined and determined both on and off the field.
Through the event, Narayana Schools demonstrated their unwavering commitment to fostering an environment that promotes both academic and physical development. By recognising the achievements of their students and providing platforms for them to share their stories, Narayana continues to inspire a culture of perseverance, teamwork, and dedication.
