Schools to Take Sports Pledge on National Sports Day
Schools across India are being asked to celebrate National Sports Day on August 29th.
This day is like a birthday party for a famous hockey player named Major Dhyan Chand, and it's a day to celebrate sports and being healthy.
The people in charge of schools, CISCE, want everyone to take a special promise during morning assembly.
This promise encourages everyone to be physically fit, mentally strong, and to play sports.
Schools are asked to have fun activities to get students moving, like playing games.
It's all part of a bigger effort to get people excited about sports and being active.

The day aims to promote fitness, sportsmanship, and Olympic values.
