Awareness promotes an understanding of opportunities to get involve in sports and physical activity. Today’s generation are stuck in video games or in mobile games, they are not aware about the indigenous sports of India like kabaddi, tug of war, kho-kho, etc. It is generally accepted that physical activity confers benefit to functional quality and general quality of life and has been proven to reduce the risk of obesity, hypertension, poor joint mobility, back pain and many more. This awareness is not for creating champions but as a means to develop a positive attitude towards life, shaping one's personality and character. Sports should become a  compulsory norm in schools as a subject like English, Hindi and so on.
