The Universal Group Of Institutions, affiliated with Punjab
Technical University, announced a scholarship programme named after Sangram
Singh. The scholarship will be awarded every year to 50 deserving students of
the university.
Singh is known for his charity and social causes. He has
created awareness about animal welfare and adopted a school in Satara.
In an exclusive interview with Smarica Pant from India Today
Education, Sangram Singh talks about the scholarship program and the condition
of sports in our country.
How will the scholarship named after you, help students?
Sangram Singh: The scholarship will be given to 50
meritorious students of the institution and it will help them to enrich in both
sports and education.
Apart from the scholarship program, how would you like to
help the poor students of this country?
SS: I always want to be the medium of poor students so that
the students can enrich themselves in their desired field and last year, I also
helped the poor students of a school near Lonawala. The youth is the power of
the country and to construct a good nation, poor students needs to be helped.
In India, Cricket gets prime importance in the field of
sports. According to you, which other sports has the capability to climb high
in this country?
SS: It is true that Cricket has been given prime importance
in the country but to me, wrestling is in number two and I am organising shows
to boost the other sports as well.
Physical education and fitness is not given much importance
in most Indian schools. How important is PE in schools? How do you think this
situation can be changed?
SS: Physical Education is important for the development of
body and mind, it is wrong if the schools are excluding that from their
syllabus. It said that a sound body begets a sound mind and the development of
a person is quite impossible without proper health.
If a student wants to choose between academic education and
a particular sport, which would you advice him to choose?
SS: Which field they choose is up to the students as they
have the opportunity to succeed in either of the streams. However, education is
necessary for every person and without that, it is hard to reach the zenith of
success.
