But in my opinion, extra curricular activities create time management issues as students will not be able to spend time with families after school works and extra curricular activities.
Also, Extra curricular activities comes with extra expenses like registration fees, lesson fees, instruments or materials fees which all parents cannot afford.
After sports activities it leaves the students exhaust which leads to the downgrade in the efficiency in studies.
Also, there are some students who are not good in these activities as they are in education. So they will be demotivated.
And they lead to the downgrade in the grades of academics as they pay more attention to these activities.
So in conclusion, we came that extra curricular activities should be added but it should not be compulsory as students should be given choice if they want to participate or not.

A person spends very crucial time in the school and it can transform one's life if the environment is creative and inspiring. Unfortunately, many schools nowadays have become prisons for the students. Moreover, students don't want to go to schools because they feel trapped in there. Our teachers also lacking the ability to teach with creativity. They are literally making these students a machine which barely responds to human feelings. This is why when these students get into civil services, they can't be effective officers who can feel and care about some of the problems we face as a society. Extra-curricular activities take you away from your books and the formal environment and push you towards an unfamiliar and informal environment where you totally rely on your own mind and this is where creativity kicks in and make you more expressive about things.

Hii everyone.
Extracurricular activities should me made necessary in every school because it may help the students to gain the knowledge as well as skill. Academics is not only the main for every child they have a freedom to participate in any activities whether it may be extra or co-curricular activity. Some schools force the children to study by saying that study is only the thing which gives you all but the main thing is study is not only the part but extracurricular activities should be included in the school.
The government should encourage the schools to awake the talents in students by conducting several extracurricular activities.
Even the parents should understand their children mindset in which aspect they are interested.
So, the schools should conduct extracurricular activities like NSS, sports, dance and singing competitions.

Yes,
According to me, extracurricular activities should be made compulsory in schools, so that children can go for some refreshment activities like playing, singing, dancing, art and crafts etc, which will give a boost to the minds of today's young children. It will further sharpen their minds and enhance their concentration power. Playing different games will help to become better and responsible citizens of the society, because every game is played according to certain rules and breaking the rules means a foul play and a foul play requires some kind of penalty. In this way, children learn the quality of playing fairly and when children gain this attribute they try to implement these qualities in their personal lives. Further, extra curricular activities develop many other qualities like discipline, time management, team spirit, justice.

Hello everyone.
I believe as much as regular studies are important for a child's growth, extracurricular activities also play a vital part in it, because it not only ensures the revitalization of their mind and body through the activities they love but also will help them socialize more effectively with the group if people who share similar interests, which in turns will help them to connect and be with similar minded people as themselves. Knowing that there are other fields except for the regular studies where they can exhibit their potential will reduce the feeling of insecurities concerning their peers and they will know that there is somewhere they belong, even if isn't their science or history class. They'll know as well as their parents that what they lack in logical studies, they compensate with their creativity.

Yes, I agree with everyone here who said that extra curricular activities should be made compulsory in schools, because for example who knows that M. S. Dhoni will be our cricket captain until he came and became. Generally, parents prefer their children should follow their seniors who were well settled, their chosen path obviously will be education, so many student's skills, wishes were being burried alive.
When we have achieved some tremendous results because of our hidden talents that were put forth. So our parents vision on our career may change at the stage secondary education itself which is the most crucial time to our personality development. So teenage of the student will guide his future in at most cases. If we can prove ourself in teenage itself, that will be our starting step for our ultimate future.

Hello friends as per my views it must be compulsory to add extra curricular activities in schools because these are the routes of life which defines the direction of a particular person wants to go in their field of interest or we can say that in which direction the interest of a particular student deserves. But the major problems in our country is that most of peoples of don't know how each and every game is particularly important as much as studies. Most of the schools were not giving advice in that what are the benefits of Extra curricular activity due to lack of which most of the students were not interacted with most of the activities. So as per my views first of all schools must know about each and every activity and their benefits then they have to suggest their students participate in those activities.

Yes, definitely. Extra curricular activities not only helps in developing our personality but they also help us in becoming extrovert. Students involved in carricular activities are comparatively happier and less likely to commit suicides. Generally carricular activities include activities apart from education such as being part of sports, involved in philanthropic work etc. People have greater chances of interacting with other work age groups which reduces anti social behaviour.
It was also found in a study that people who are not doing any extra carricular activities are more shy, introvert and they avoid coming first publicly. Thus for overall develoment of any human being he or she must be encouraged to partcipate in any sort of those activities. Without the development of humans no country can develop.

It is a " BIG", from my side.
Today, children been engulfed wholly in technology, repercussions are easily distracted, aggressive, low stamina, compete to such an extent where they use evil tactics to win.
It should be mandatory to each institution to inculcate the extra co-curricular activities, and segregation of grades in this context. Each coin has two sides, imparting extra activities just not act as a catalyst to improve the stamina, but also helpful in developing a child as a whole, boosting the sportsmanship, cope up with the loss, provide a vivid vision for taking the sport as their career.
This can only be done by the concrete efforts of parents and institutions. One should not impact the stress of being studious only, my child has the caliber to go with these important co-curricular activities.

Yes, extracurricular activities should be compulsory in school as most of the children decide to do engineering after 12th but many of them are aiming for defence officers for ex-courses are like near, test in army, cadet entry scheme in navy etc, but most of them failed in San during GTO tasks because it is due to lack of practice as it is not like studying for one year and then cleared the SSB we have to practice it from our childhood himself so if school provides some extracurricular activities related physical fitness then students will be aware of that from the beginning and it also helps in the SSB interview not only in this line but also it helps in railway jobs too, SSC, CDs after graduation so we need to practice it to make top scorer during interviews of these as it also develop our personality.
