To ensure the holistic development of students, physical education (PE) has been mandated in all schools in Tamil Nadu by the Tamil Nadu government. Based on the policy, education authorities are required to prioritise sports and PE and ensure that PE classes are compulsorily held for students of classes 6 to 12. Additionally, the government has instructed officials to gather data about play grounds in educational establishments that are not being used. Furthermore, schools are required to support students who are passionate about sports by offering them special sports training. According to government authorities, these measures will help in promoting fitness along with academics, enhancing students’ overall health.
