Medals and certificates presented to students
Mysore/Mysuru: Lalitha High School, Yadavagiri, Mysuru, an unaided school managed by the South Western Railway Women’s Welfare Organisation of the Mysuru Division (SWR) held the valedictory function of the Annual Sports Day 2022-23 in the School premises recently.
Pooja Agarwal, President, of South Western Railway Women’s Welfare Organisation, Mysuru Division, who was the chief guest , handed over medals and certificates to over 100 students who participated in individual and team events.
Bhandavya, an International Basketball player working with the Indian Railways at Mysuru and the current captain of the Indian Women’s Basketball team was felicitated on the occasion.
Congratulating the winners, Pooja Agarwal said that she firmly believed that irrespective of whether one has won a medal or not, all who participated in the competition were winners. Sports also helps develop social relationships among the participants leading to a greater understanding of their role in society, she added.
Bhandavya lamented that these days a lot of importance and stress was towards academics and playing or participating in sports had merely become a hobby. My advice to youngsters is that sports not only helps in being fit but also teaches many life skills, like working in a team, improvement in our reflexes, application of mental tactics, handling of stress and most importantly sportsmanship, etc., she concluded.
E. Vijaya, Additional DRM and Vice-President of the school, executive members of the South Western Railway Women’s Welfare Organisation and the faculty of the school were present.
