According to me, It should be banned. Think of it, childrens must read at this age. Everyone knows that these education system are only mark basis. And syllabus is also vast. If children concentrate on their games rather than studying, definetely they will get poor marks. Marks are more important today. Childrens are not as much matured like us. They are small kids, they need to be relaxed. They has to read a heavy syllabus and if extra curricular activities are made compulsary, they cannot able to cop up both. At this age, studies must given more important. I accept sports is also important and it is healthier too but it is not as much important than study. If they concentrate only on study and take rest in free hours, childrens loves it. They need some break and they must give some time to sleep, reading books etc. They have only 1 brain, so parents must understand them and encourage them to study. Students interested on games are acceptable. Everyone cannot become sachin or dhoni. Everyone is strong in their own field. Leave it to their choice. They will choose their life. Thankyou.

As in my point of view, it should be compulsory. Children nowadays instead of going and playing in ground dey use smartphones more due to this they lack their physical strength and become weak, they won't come out nor play out of which children become lazy and not active. Only studies nowadays won't keep the brain strong nor active if used in other extracurricular we get to know in which field is he/she capable are he/she are interested in. Other than studies they should make even extracurricular has also one subject so that they can concentrate even on this too than studies. It keeps dem Peace of mind and no stress full life.

According to my view;.

Extracurricular activities should be made compulsory in school because this will have certain benefits.

Firstly, Body remains fit and student mind also will become sharp there thinking ability increases and there focus on their studies will increases.

These activities is very helpful in upbringing the students and there dedication towards studies will also increase.

I am fully agree with this. Our India is a developing country. So, education must be needed. And this is the era of technology and science. So, the extracurricular activities are needed for this. It must be done in the village schools also. By this India will develop more. Thank you.

Hi,

I could already see that many schools are providing compulsory periods and time for extra curricular activities. But, we can notice that in most of the Indian schools, it is 90% studies and 10% of extra curricular activities or sometimes 80% studies and 20% will be the time allotted for extra curricular activities. And I've even seen kids sitting and studying during PT periods for the test conducted the next period. So, I think extra curricular activities can be made optional and kids who are really interested in sports or arts must be encouraged to pursue that instead of studies. For them it should be 80% sports or arts and 20% studies.

Some students will always be interested to study. They should be encouraged to continue studies 90% and allowed to do other activities for 10% of the time. The behavior, interest and activities of students have to be monitored since their childhood and proper coaching have to be provided to them in whatsoever they might be interested.

Schools rather than pushing the students to master in all at once should make them choose their area of interest and guide them to master in one particular field at once. In India, there are many students who are really interested in sports, but who don't have guidance to purse them. These should change as soon as possible and this change can be made only by the schools.

So extra curricular activities rather than being compulsory in all schools should be optional up to the students choice and encouragement have to be given for both the students who want to master in studies and also for those who want to master in other fields.

For bringing about a major change in India, simply making extra curricular activities as compulsory one in schools will not be the solution. And as I stated earlier this is already been adopted by many schools but there are no effects of such in student's success in activities other than studies. So, a different approach has to be followed in order to achieve real success.

Yes, I endorse extracurricular activities should be made compulsory among school students. Because this is the age where they can learn many things and makes them active.

Extra activities like sports is a very good thing where students learn confidence, aim, determination and mainly concentration to win. Even they learn how to take things easily in life.

Thank you.

Rather than making extracurricular activities important the more important fact is to make each and every children aware of what talents they have, parents and teachers have a great role in it. Each student have different capabilities and talents. So extra curricular activities must be made in school but not by forcing students to do a particular type of activities which they are not apt.

Hello friends.

Extra circular activity should be made compulsory in school is necessary. In today's generation is technology generation. Because of mobiles and computers and TV or any social media children don't identify their own skill. They do not play physiological games. That's why an extra circular activity is important. Because of extra activity, they develop their skill also grow their confidence.

Hi Guys.

Extra curricular activities should be made compulsory in school to improve the physical fitness of the children. By participating in all the events they should pay much concentration and their IQ level will be increased. The children are not easily suffered to any diseases.

Not only studies but also curricular activities play major role in the human life. By participating in curricular activities they have the knowledge more than on studies.
