Generally,
physical education and sports are considered to be same subject but the
two are different disciplines. Physical Education studies the various
systems of our body, its functions and application in the various
physical activities. It is also requires knowledge of Anatomy,
Physiology.
On
the other hand sports concerns with games involving people to play with
or without fixed number of players within a period, fixed or unfixed.
The
development of sports in this state of Tripura is on the lower ladder in
comparison to the other states in the country. Our state is also lagging
quite behind Manipur, Assam and Meghalaya in this Northeastern part of
the country consequently we have hardly a sports person of National
level.
I
am not going to mention any development of particulars discipline in
games & sports in Tripura. But I want to say a few words on the
involvement of all sections of the people in this small state, the
Tribals. It is observed that the Tribals have good endurance and
strength in performing any physical activities. This has been reflected
among the Tribals who participated in the games & sports organised
at various levels. It is also noticed that a remarkable improvement in
the field of Football, both its climate and atmosphere, when Tribals
have started to participate in this game. We have to think how these
talents of the Tribals can be utilized in other fields also like Basket
ball and track and field events.
To
encourage the youths of both Tribal and non Tribal in games & sports
and to raise the standard of the game & sports in the state to that
of the National Level, it is required that necessary infrastructure is
built on one hand and full utilization of the infrastructure so
developed on the other. To mention a few words in this regard these
should be sub-division level tournaments of various games & sports
for the clubs within the sub-division and subsequently such tournaments
may be organised at the district and state level. It should be the
endeavor to encourage the youths to organise club at various level. In
this respect the Tripura School sports, Tripura sports council and all
the sports association may take a crucial part and the government will
have to take positive action accordingly. It may however be mentioned
that the Block and Sub Division level tournaments are not organised in a
deserving manner on many occasions.
It
has been observed that recently a tendency has been developed to bring
players from out side state involving a good amount of money. But the
extent of involving and encouraging the youth in the games & sports
activity in not near satisfaction. Considering all this taken into
account it is suggested that coaching camps involving the various clubs
and youths of both Tribals and non Tribals may be organised widely
during the vacation so that even the school students can participate.
There
is evidence that some youths have formed an outfit or joined insurgency.
There may be some political parties behind it. They may be provoked to
have some political gain but the youths become antinational as well as
antisocial.
By
organizing the youth programmes and encouraging the youth of both Tribal
and non-Tribal to take part hand in hand, it will go a long way to
create an atmosphere for communal harmony and ultimately develop
National integration.
This
is a task, which requires to be taken up by all concerned whether a
Govt. agency or non-Govt. agency sports association and club etc.
Therefore all clubs, sports association and Govt. agencies are requested
to be partners in this respect so that we can turn the youth welfare
activities into a social movement.

some slogans, which may attract the peoples in games and be useful in
motivating people are mention below.
