Study and sports are two linked components of our learning process and will always be important for an individual. A healthy mind can exist only in a healthy body. It is rightly said that a healthy nation can be built if the citizens are physically fit. The mental pressure and tension arising out of the fast modern life can only be released in the playground and therefore, healthy diet and fitness have gained a new status in today's world.
