CBSE Circular – Celebration of National Sports Day 2025
As you would be aware, the National Sports Day (NSD) is celebrated annually on 29th August to honour the birth anniversary of Major Dhyan Chand, the legendary hockey player. This day celebrates India’s rich sporting legacy and the achievements of our athletes who have made the nation proud on global platforms. It also marks the day when the Fit India Movement was launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister in 2019, igniting a mass movement for health and fitness across the country. This year the National Sports Day is India’s tribute to the Olympic Spirit and the core values of Excellence, Friendship, and Respect.
In this regard, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Govt of India is celebrating NSD 2025 with a vibrant series of nationwide sporting and fitness activities from 29th to 31st August 2025.
This year’s theme reflects our shared commitment to building a healthier, fitter and active India through the power of sports.
In view of above, the schools are requested to organize sporting and fitness activities during 29th to 31st August, 2025 as follows:
- Conduct fun and competitive games during this period
