"All work and no play make John a dull boy" This saying has been made more productive. Sports through systematic methods of training can yield desirable fruits. Sports involve regular practice. Regular practice involves coming together Coming together is the beginning. Staying together is progress and working together is success. These are the various components of sports during active participation. Therefore, I strongly believe that sports should be made mandatory at the university level. R. Clement Rajkumar, Sports in charge St. Stephen's College DU

I think that excessive sports in schools or even in colleges can spoil a child's life. Every child is not able to make a career in sports. So, in my view, indulging in sports at the cost of studies is not right. I think that increasing participation in sports at schools and colleges can lead to bad academic perfbrmance. Gyan Prakash Gupta, Teacher Delhi

A nation is built with its educational institutions like schools and colleges. Any satisfactory system of education should aim at a balanced growth of an individual, which implies not only excellence at academics but also proficiency in extracurricular activi- ties and sports. Participation in sports as a hobby is a great stress-buster and helps promote both physical and mental fitness. Therefore, universities should evolve a system, where students should be made to participate in sports on a regular basis, as a part of the curriculum.C.K. Khanna, Vice President, Delhi & District Cricket Association
