Multi Activity Centre
Education is not just about acquisition of
knowledge and training of the mind but is a means for all-round development of human
subjects. It is much broader in its expanse and encompasses almost every aspect
of our physical being. Thus, extra-curricular and recreational activities are
no less significant than the classroom activity for a child’s development. Activities
such as gymnastics or other indoor games strengthen our mental and physical faculties
in different ways. Solving a sudoku, a crossword or a Rubik’s cube sharpens our
mind to a great extent. Similarly, playing table tennis, badminton or similar
games is a great way to exercise our muscles in a controlled manner which is
good for people of all age groups because it can be done in not-so-strenuous
manner. Contrary to this, watching a good video or listening to a melodious
audio of a person’s choice has a calming effect on human mind despite that it
involves no physical or mental activity. It is highly desirable for every
educational institution to have a multi-activity centre where such recreational
activities could be performed. Shia PG College has its well furnished multi-activity
centre lodged in its Abu Talib Block where appropriate arrangements are made
for recreational activities for all the members of teaching and non-teaching
staff of the college in addition to the students. This centre has necessary
equipment for work-outs, indoor games, and a big LED screen for watching TV
programs or internet based content.
