Insightful Moment from the Delhi Conference on Sports & PE organised by CBSE & Spefl.official. Gita Krishna Raj National Head of the PEPS from the Sports sector skill council, highlights the tripartite relationship in education: student, teacher, and content.
Students need to understand the "why" of movement - is that an intellectual question or an emotional one?
Teachers focus on the "how" of teaching - is there a difference between obedience and self-discipline?
Content needs to expand the bandwidth of "what" is being taught - can we integrate arts and sports for a holistic approach in our curriculum?
Let's empower students, support teachers, and enhance curriculum to promote holistic development! Watch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=welZAuHS3HY&t=2710s

Gita Krishna Raj, the National Head of Sports Sector Skill Council's PE program for schools, sheds light on the paramount importance of instilling a culture of movement. Her impassioned plea to prioritize physical activity resonates profoundly in today's education landscape.

Recently I was reading by Devdutt Pattanaik and was blown over by the ease with which he explains the most complex and intriguing concepts. My elation soared as I completed the book and saw the image on the last chapter of the book (see image 1)
Since 2014, I have been researching, creating and advocating the concept of physical literacy in India. Born out of a conversation between Krishnaraj & me to introduce a more holistic physical education approach in schools in August 2013, Maverick Fit Kids has blossomed from being India’s first physical literacy informed curriculum in schools to the National Knowledge Partner of the Government of India’s Sports, Physical Education, Fitness and Leisure Skills Council promoting physical education - Spefl.official
While the concept of was available for reading and research over the Internet, it was embellished by a few interactions I was privileged to have when I travelled abroad over the years. I am indebted to Amit Malik who connected with me in 2020, and through him my connection with the International Physical Literacy Association (IPLA) UK. The IPLA gave an academic orientation to my intuitive understanding and implementation of physical literacy. The expansion on the physical, affective and cognitive domains while being physically active (see image 2) was a result of these interactions with the IPLA team from across the globe.
While the innate connection was always felt by me, the image from “My Gita” explaining the interdependence of the three yogas brought a profound moment of inexplicable clarity and gratitude. No wonder I resonate so much with the concept of physical literacy encompassing action (physical-Karma), emotion (affective-Bhakti) and understanding (cognitive-Gyana).
As expounded, action without emotion or understanding is devoid of involvement (affection) and meaning. Knowledge without emotion is devoid of purpose (exchange is the basis of life as detailed in ‘My Gita’). Yoga means to unite. Physical literacy is a way of life to unite our reverence for our body through valuing, understanding and implementing ways by which we can be active for life.

A matter of grave concern to see 40% of city school children in Chennai being obese or overweight as per report this morning in Times of India!
As the study suggests ‘A combination of factors including sedentary lifestyle, higher consumption of fast food, excessive gadget usage, automobile drop-and-pickup from school to home and decreased extracurricular activities to meet the demands of academic curricular goals has led to the increase in BMI among school students’
It’s time to make our schools more aware of the importance of a holistic physical education approach with an increased focus to enable every child value being physically active for life.
