Blooming Buds School, a renowned educational institution of Moga city which has made a unique identity in the field of education, sports and culture under the leadership of Group Chairman Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Saini and Chairperson Madam Kamal Saini, celebrated ‘National Sports Day’ and a tribute was paid to the hockey wizard ‘Major Dhyan Chand’. It is worth mentioning that every year National Sports Day is celebrated in India on August 29 on the birthday of Major Dhyan Chand, who is called the hockey wizard. Very beautiful charts and articles related to ‘National Sports Day’ and Major Dhyan Chand were presented by the students during the morning assembly in the school. Through articles children shared very interesting information about Major Dhyan Chand’s life and his achievements. Major Dhyan Chand was born on August 29, 1905. Major Dhyan Chand, who was interested in hockey since childhood, joined the British Indian Army as a Lance Naik. With his sporting magic, Major Dhyan Chand was a three-time Olympic gold medalist and scored more than 400 international goals during his career as a player. On this occasion, the school organized a hockey match between the teams of ‘Red House’ and ‘Blue House’ dedicated to the memory of Major Dhyan Chand. This match was very exciting in which the Blue House team won by 2-1. School Chairperson Madam Kamal Saini and Principal Madam Dr. Hamiliya Rani awarded the trophy to the winning team. Apart from this, various types of rural games like Peecho, Pitthu Garam, Kotla Chhapaki, Kho-Kho etc. were also played so that the students could be aware of games which are a part of Punjabi heritage. On this occasion, the chairperson madam told the students that today we have many types of tools like TV, cinema, mobile, social media etc. for entertainment but these can only entertain us mentally but are very harmful to our body. On the other hand, as far as native sports are concerned, all these sports make our mind smart and our body strong. Therefore, to save these native games which are disappearing, it becomes necessary for us to play these games and also inspire others to play these games. At the end of the event, Chairperson Madam Kamal Saini wished the children all the best for their future.
