Speaking on the occasion, Minister Shyam drew the attention of the youths on the importance of good health.
Shyam said sports lay foundation for good physical and mental health that in turn breeds moral values, discipline and all-round development in us.
Having positive thoughts and inculcating discipline besides having good behaviour also help in effective governance of the State, he said.
Be it sports, education, social service or any other field, it is important for students to take up the spirit and stamina of excellence in their works for a successful life in future.
“We need proper education to lead a meaningful life, he added. If we live our lives based on positive notes, ideal thoughts with sound knowledge, we will easily be able to shoulder our responsibilities successfully later on in any walks of life, whether in politics, community service, and state service or even in leading students’ organizations,” he said.
The minister said that he wants the students to understand that sports bring love and harmony, mutual understanding and trust amongst one another. Those who attended the function also spoke on the occasion.
Prizes were also distributed to the winners of the N Surendra Singh Memorial Manipur University Inter-College Weight-Lifting, Power-Lifting and Best Physique 2018-19 during the function. Teachers, students and other concerned officials took part in the function.
