The Sports Board of Aliah University strongly recognizes the idea of sports being considered the fundamental right to all which seems to preserve the integrity of sports in the university. The university has registered its repute not only in academics ,but also a strong emphasis in the field of sports.Few years back, there was a stigma attached to extra-curricular activities, considering it as a
waste of time. But unlike earlier, parents now focus more on the holistic development of their children. They not only want their children to excel at academics but in sports activities too.Students who at a very young age lose sight of their end goal and suffer from problems such as procrastination, reduced motivation, laziness, etc. participating in sports activities helps to reduce such behavior problems and fosters children’s critical thinking, teamwork and social skills capabilities along with many other skills.
