Prof. Dr. Belal A. Khan, Rector, Foundation University, Islamabad (FUI) has said that the importance of sports and other co-curricular activities in the university life cannot be underemphasized.
“Such events play a significant role in the character building, spirit of competition, discipline and comradeship of students. Besides, these activities help to keep good physical health for all participants,” he made these remarks while speaking at the closing ceremony of the FUI Sports Gala 2012 held in Pasban Sports Complex, Rawalpindi on Thursday.
The events of the Gala included 100 meter race, 60 meter race, 400 meter relay, chatti race, sack race, 3-legged race and tug of war.
The Rector said that sports are an incredibly important contributor to human nature. He said that the lack of responsibility seen and avoidance of risk taking often swells to a point where people avoid any kind of competitive activity for inherent fear of failure.
“Participation in sports and games are healthy activities which kindle the fire of struggle, excellence and competition,” he added.
Dr. Belal said that it is heartening to note that FUI constituent colleges are cognizant of the importance of sports and are making dedicated efforts to provide ample opportunities to their respective students for participation in both indoor as well as outdoor activities.
“I take this opportunity to congratulate those who won prizes in different competitions. However, those who could not secure a position should not lose heart. They should persistently keep working hard to be on the victory stand next time,” he said.
