Uttar Pradesh Junior State Netball Championship
Our school organized a two days ‘Uttar Pradesh Junior State Netball Championship’ in its campus on 13th and 14th February, 2021. The main aim behind organizing such event was to promote and encourage sports among the young students. Because of the ongoing COVID-19 worldwide pandemic and subsequent lockdowns in the entire country, the students remained confined in their houses and schools were not able to organize any kind of sporting events in their campuses. But, now as the entire world is moving towards normalcy, this sporting event came as a fresh breath in the life of the participants.
