SAMBA, Mar 26: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh BJP vice president and former Minister Surjeet Singh Slathia today emphasized the crucial need of inculcating healthy competitive spirit among students, both in academics and extracurricular activities to meet the challenges of the competitive world.
Speaking at separate functions to celebrate annual day function of New Light Higher Secondary School, Balore Samba and Modern Institute of Education High School Sumb in Samba, Slathia said the competitive spirit enables students to grow in a productive atmosphere and places them in good stead, be it entry into careers, career development and sports arenas.
He said the parents and teachers can play a proactive role in this regard, adding that frequent interactions could lead to corrective measures wherever necessary.
Slathia said while teachers can be facilitators, the initiative has to come from the students. As such, a greater role is cast upon parents to mould their children, as home is supposed to be the first school.
