1. MODERNIZATION AND EFFECTIVE
IMPLEMENTATION OF
‘PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR ALL’
TO PROMOTE
NATIONAL HEALTHCARE, FITNESS,
WELLNESS AND SPORTS

2. POSITIVE HEALTH
The interaction of heredity
(genetics), diet and physical
activity is responsible for ones
positive health which is resistant
to inevitable exposures to
unhealthy environment.
- Hippocrates 480 BC

3. P.E. NEGLECTED IN SCHOOLS
The formal physical education (which is
the only means of teaching
fundamentals of physical activity) has
been neglected by the educationists
and educational curriculum developing
agencies by not conducting the
examinations in Physical Education at
school level, till date.

4. IMPLEMENTATION NEGLECTED
We, as educational planners are always
busy in finding methods for improvement,
but do not bother to implement the proven
known methods of sure improvements e.g.
introduction of essential physical
education (wellness) component to all
graduation courses, creation of a
departments of P.E. & M.&E. at each
university.

5. HEALTHY LIVING
Daily Physical Activity combined with right
diet is the only way of healthy and
productive living. This is possible by
producing a handbook of daily schedules,
say by UNESCO, WHO, UNICEF, UGC,
NUEPA, NCTE’ AIU, SAI, LNIPE, BPCA or
NCERT. But this effective seed is yet to
find proper place and subsequent
universal nurturing.

6. COMPULSORY P.E.A.
 The effective inclusion of the
compulsory paper of ‘Physical
Education for All’ depends upon the
experts in education and the
authorities.
 But the projection of modernized,
effectively imple-mentable parts of
physical education are to be designed
by us, the physical educationists.

7. CONGRATULATIONS
 Congratulations to Prof. Dr. G.V.
Pargaonkar, Dr. G.K. Dhokrat, all
organizers and the Bombay Physical
Culture Association for selecting the
most important but most un-noticed
topic so far, for a conference.
 I hope that they will be following the
recommendations of this conference
for effective implementation by the
relevant agencies.

8. UNIVERSAL PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Convincing the relevant agencies for the
need and importance of ‘Physical
Education for All’ as the end and
‘Sports for All’ as the means to reach
that end because Physical Education is
the only practical way to promote health-
care, fitness, wellness, sports &
performance.

9. GENERAL DEFINITION OF PHYSICAL
EDUCATION
“Physical education is that part of
education which has to do with the
development and training of the
whole individual through physical
activities”.
– A.R. Wayman.

10. MODERN DEFINITION
“The process of acquiring knowledge,
skills and behaviour change for imbibing
healthy nutrition and adequate physical
activity in one’s daily schedule or
regimen, in compliance to one’s
constitution (age, sex, physique) as well
as, improving one’s recreative feeling by
participation in sports competitions with
right sports training”.

11. IMPORTANT OLYMPIA (1996)
DECLARATION
 Re-establishment of regular physical
activity into everyday life on a daily basis.
 The attainment of metabolic fitness through
nutrition and physical activity reduces the
risk of many modern lifestyle diseases
such as diabetes, hypertension, Osteo-
porosis, some cancers, obesity, & cardio-
vascular disorders.

12. PHYSICAL EDUCATION
IMPLEMENTABLE CAPSULE-I
An international committee by
UNESCO and a national
committee by UGC/NCTE or
NUEPA should immediately be
constituted to provide standard
essentials of physical education.

13. PHYSICAL EDUCATION
IMPLEMENTABLE CAPSULE contd.
NCERT should also appoint a monitoring
committee to prove validity of physical
education programme implementation in
each school through an examination paper
to be qualified by each student, before he
could be awarded higher secondary
certificate

14. NO UNIFORM OR MODEL
COURSE CONTENT
We do not have any uniform
model course content to
produce competent physical
education teachers. NCTE is
yet to approve any three year
or four year degree course after
plus two stage.

15. VALIDITY OF COURSES
NCTE should prescribe a validity
test for all courses run for
producing physical education
teachers for the schools.
As far as possible, a uniform
master’s course content and
structure should be provided by
NCTE with in span of 2 years.

16. UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT
OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Each university must have
the obligation to start a
separate department of
physical education and
sports sciences within a
span of 3 years.

17. SPORTS AS MOTIVATOR TO
PHYSICAL EDUCATON
The intrinsic interest develops
only when one enjoys an
activity. “Sports are the best
mode of creating intrinsic
interest in Physical Activity &
Physical Education”.

18. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROMOTION
QUOTATIONS
“No matter whatever amount of work
one has, one should always find time
for daily exercise as one does for one’s
meals”.
- MAHATMA GANDHI
‘Healthy mind resides only in healthy
body’.
- MAHATMA BUDHA

19. PRACTICABLE ESSENTIALS OF P.E.
Each individual must be trained to maintain a daily
dairy (log book) to record one’s physical activity done
in addition to one’s routine activities.
Each individual must walk briskly for atleast 30
minutes almost daily, in one go or in bouts of say 10-
15 minutes, with intervals as per convenience.
There is no internal homeostatic process in the body
(like hunger pangs) to compel each individual for
physical activity.
Therefore, we have to prescribe a minimal standard
which could protect us against all hypokinetic
diseases.

20. PHYSICAL ILLITERACY AMONG
INDIAN UNIVERSITIES
It is heartening to note that only
17% of Indian Universities are literature in
physical education and that
83% of the universities do not include the
teaching of physical education in any form
indicating their illiteracy and ignorance to
the necessity of learning guidelines of
general physical exercises essential for
preventing hypokinetic diseases.

through prescribed physical activities which may
be regularized by improvised sports of the
disabled group if needed.
Some children may be more interested in
friendship and cooperation, accordingly, team
sports may be recommended for them.

31. FIVE STEP OBJECTIVE
1. All universities to start departments of physical
education.
2. UNESCO or WHO to establish universal capsule
of PEA.
3. PEAR (Physical Education paper for All
Resource persons – Pre-service Teachers).
4. Each university to create CDCs (Courses
Development Councils) and Publication Cells in
each faculty.
5. Pre-service courses to include (three papers):-
(i) Practical Measurement & Evaluation,
(ii) Physical Fitness & Wellness for All,
(iii) Sports Talent Selection & Counselling.

32. VISION
Inspite of cleansing leaves, roots
are to be nurtured for healthcare,
fitness, wellness, sports and
human performance through PEA
(Physical Education for All).

33. MISSION
Promotion of the following activities:-
• International Projects for universal &
effective Handbook on PEA selection
contents.
• National Projects for UGC, NUEPA,
NCTE for creating Departments,
national directives and courses for
PEA (Physical Education for All).

34. GOALS
By 2012 i.e. in five years:-
• All PEAR pre-services teachers’ courses to
teach lab. Practicals, wellness and sports
talent selection.
• NCTE to constitute valid CDC (Courses
Development Councils) for standardizing
courses and PE Teaching specializ-ations.
• M.P.Ed. degree to be diversified to atleast five
specializations:-
- M.P.Ed. (F) - Foundation.
- M.P.Ed. (E.P.) - Ex. Physiol.
- M.P.Ed. (KTS) - Kinanthropometry & Talent Selection.
- M.P.Ed. (PME) - Practical Measurement & Evaluation.
- M.P.Ed. (ST) - Sports Training & Scientific Techniq
