Hello every one,

First of all I would like to thank for giving this opportunity.

According to my view, extracurricular activities are very important from initial stage onwards. School students with their academics they should also concentrate towards these extracurricular activities such that they can initially good at their physical and mental abilities. These bring them sportive spirit, leadership qualities (those are very important in our present situation), decision making, and many more. They bring down feeling of stress.

. These activities make an individual to feel comfortable with different people as they can habitat to adjust to people of different opinion. Extra cultural activities make children relief from their daily academics and bring mental relief. In the same way, they can improve their speaking skills. For all these activities students required different properties for them, schools should provide everything. They should bring some awareness among the students and in the same way in parents too. Schools based on private can supply what the students required but these should be followed in government sector also.

If these extracurricular activities are not there then students can't show or enrich their talents. So from childhood on wards students should be managing with curricular activities in schools.

In my point of view, it's a major part in the school curriculum. Some of the important points are.

* These days children are not participating in games and playing games in game zones.
* Games improves the stamina of the child and helps him to know his strengths and this strengths.
* Teachers also came to know about their abilities and teach them accordingly.
* Students also should participate in such activities actively to overcome stage fear.

Hi all.

We have Curricular / Co-curricular / Extra-curricular activities in the education system. But lessons are only taught and the students are not exposed to personality development activities. It is against children's right and a threat to their physical/ mental health. They involve in risk / vulnerable activities. To ensure overall perfection Co-curricular / Extra-curricular activities should be given importance to create a better future and skilled professionals.

Hey guys!

Extracurricular activities are as imp as academic studies. This should be made compulsory for EACH student in school. Because-.

1. This keeps them fit both mentally & physically, which is the utmost requirement for bright future of INDIA.

2. Especially in India, we found youth are more confused than confident! So, by involving in different activities from childhood, in future, they can easily choose their carrier in which they are passionate about.

3. By involving in different sports activities they can learn many things. Like how to be a good team player, how to be a responsible leader etc.

4. These activities are surely going to raise their self-esteem, so that they can think and act independently. (These two qualities are very important to be successful in a carrier).

5. This also going to help in developing better communication skill, which is very important to express their ideas and thoughts with everyone.

This will surely go to decrease unemployment percentage in INDIA. Because nowadays it is found that, students in lakhs (able or unable) competing in many competitive exams. Most of the students are participating in these exams because everyone is doing the same. They are just following blindly without exploring their strength!

I believe today in our country we don't just need toppers but leaders!

Yes, In today's fast pacing world and the highly competitive world it's important to have people who are are not just well read but knowledgeable too.

No doubt education is a must but co curricular activities play an important role in a child's overall development.

-> firstly, children get a break from their routine, which is refreshing.
-> Secondly, children may explore their talents which they may later pursue as a career.
-> Thirdly, different co-curricular activities have their own benefit.

* Activities like extempore, recitation, debating, group discussions, quizzes, hone a child's speaking and Mental skills!

* Activities like sports are all team building activities which teach children about games spirit and team spirit (Plus have amazing physical health benefits too).

* Activities like theatre, drama or dances boost a child's self-confidence and make them independent. They Never get a stage fright and become bold enough to speak their minds and take actions!

Therefore, I believe co-curricular activities should be given a great importance in today's schools!

I think that extracurricular activities in school must be made compulsory for students as it not only develop an interest in other fields but also helps a student to reduce his or her stress level.

It is proved in a survey that the students who learn some extra activities too other then academics their stress level is much lesser than the students who just focus on their studies.

Extra-curricular activities also help us to find our interest areas and choose our future career. If student gets encouraged towards sports or other fields from school itself it will help them to choose their future.

For a proper development of personality, both should be balanced. In present-days, education gives lot of stress on student mind, extracurricular activity will have a healthy effect on the mind of students.

Yes. They should be there. Because these are like vitamins and minerals for build up of our personalitiy. Being a student of school having these, I can tell you that when we are looking for real ourselves, in that time extracurricular help us the way that we can't even think about those these things. Secondly, we can look for our area of interest like dance singing photography and many more things.
