In the beginning of the annual academic planning for the school, a physical education committee meeting was held which included the school principal, teachers and students, almuni and parents. The agenda of the discussion was to plan for a comprehensive program for physical education and sports for all age groups and prepare a schedule of events along with recommendations for various sub-committees to conduct sports events. The team released the schedule of the events to be conducted in the current academic year. As per the interest and capabilities of students and teachers, various sub-committees were recommended. The sub-committee consisting of house-teachers and students provided feedback about concerns regarding draws and fixtures in intramural school tournament where the best teams competed against each other in the initial round itself. The students also felt that sometimes the teams were not cohesive and did not display sportsman-like behaviour on or off the field. They felt such situations were unseemly and could be avoided through a systematic process. There was also a need to increase the coordination among the committees with more defined roles and responsibilities of each member. To provide exposure to the potential atheletes and for talent development, a proposal was put forward for hosting a state-level inter-school competition at the school. To this end, the committees would need human resources, technical support and financial assistance. A new feature to the annual physical education programme, was the conducting of a mass run for crowd funding.
Unsportsman-like conduct in sports events can be effectively managed through a structured and deliberate strategy. Insights from the school's physical education committee meeting underscore the necessity of a systematic process to preempt such occurrences. The following outlines a comprehensive approach:
Implementing these strategies will cultivate a more sportsman-like environment, leading to positive and rewarding experiences for all involved. The integration of these systematic processes into all facets of event planning and execution is paramount.
Sub-committees were recommended based primarily on "interest and capabilities" during the physical education committee meeting. This ensures individuals are assigned roles matching their strengths and passions. The team acknowledged the necessity for coordinated efforts to improve team cohesion, proposing specialized committees aligned with members' interests and capabilities.
| Criteria | Description |
|---|---|
| Economic status | Excluded from sub-committee formation |
| Interest and capabilities | Key criterion for recommendations |
| Seniority | Secondary consideration |
| Potential | Utilized for talent development, not sub-committee selection |
This organizational approach was intended to foster an environment where students and teachers could excel, promoting enthusiasm and commitment within the physical education and sports programs.

Milkha Singh was born in 1929 in Gobindpura village in the Muzaffargarh district of Pakistan. He spent most of his childhood in poverty. Singh lost his 14 siblings to poverty, poor health and lack of medical attention. During the 1947 partition, he became an orphan and moved to India. He earned his living by working in a roadside restaurant before joining the army in 1951. During his military training, he realised his sprinting abilities. Hawaldar Gurudev Singh persuaded him to run a cross-country race as a part of military training. He practiced hard and came to the limelight during the National Games at Patiala in 1956. He broke the 200m and 400m records in the National Games at Cuttack in 1958. From running three miles ranging from running the first mile slowly and then increasing pace each mile before his training in the off season schedule, Singh would run three 400m races followed by one slow-paced 200m race followed by three 400m races fast followed by another 200m race slowly in the morning. During the season schedule, 10 sprints of 150m on Mondays, six 200m sprints on Tuesdays, four 300m sprints on Wednesdays, two 500m sprints once on Saturdays followed by complete rest on Sunday.
He is the only athlete to win a gold medal in the 400 meters race at the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games. Milkha Singh set a National Record in the 1960 Olympics by winning fourth place in the 400m race in 45.73 seconds. This record remained for almost 40 years.
