Addressing the 64th meeting of the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) here today he said, this is also essential to deal with the growing incidence of diabetes and other non-communicable diseases among children. The Minister said that for realizing the full potential of sports, it is essential that we take effective steps to promote it in educational institutions without any further delay. Shri Goel emphasized that every educational institution should have access to a playfield and basic sports facilities. Such institutions which do not have these facilities should tie up with neighbouring institutions. He said, physical education teachers should be engaged by every school. Standard guidelines should be framed and issued for admission under sports quota, relaxation to sportspersons from attendance and appearance in examinations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amritsar, October 25 (Punjab Post Bureau)- The Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Youth Affairs and Sports, Shri Vijay Goel has said that to impart the desired importance to sports , it is essential that sports is made a compulsory subject at the school level and marks are given to students for their involvement in &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":76150,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-english"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Make Sports a Compulsory Subject in Schools and give marks for it - Vijay Goel\u00a0 | Punjab Post<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/76148\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Make Sports a Compulsory Subject in Schools and give marks for it - Vijay Goel\u00a0 | Punjab Post\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Amritsar, October 25 (Punjab Post Bureau)- The Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Youth Affairs and Sports, Shri Vijay Goel has said that to impart the desired importance to sports , it is essential that sports is made a compulsory subject at the school level and marks are given to students for their involvement in &hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/76148\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Punjab Post\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-10-26T15:15:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-10-26T15:16:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Vijay-Goel.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"279\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"ppadmin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"ppadmin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/76148\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/76148\",\"name\":\"Make Sports a Compulsory Subject in Schools and give marks for it - Vijay Goel\u00a0 | Punjab Post\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/76148#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/76148#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Vijay-Goel.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-10-26T15:15:44+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-10-26T15:16:47+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/#\/schema\/person\/e389e50e8970b30f10352199927e8693\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/76148#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/76148\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/76148#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Vijay-Goel.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Vijay-Goel.jpg\",\"width\":500,\"height\":279},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/76148#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Make Sports a Compulsory Subject in Schools and give marks for it &#8211;
