New Sports Arena Introduced At GD Goenka Public School

GD Goenka Public School, Vasant Kunj, unveiled the GD Goenka Sports Arena in collaboration with the sports and event management company ITMagia and sports-tech firm Push Sports.

The school's sports facility spans an acre within its campus, offering several amenities.

India acknowledges the vital role of sports and fitness in personal growth, societal welfare, and national progress. Engaging in sports cultivates values like teamwork, leadership, and goal-setting, contributing to a fitter and more cohesive society. It stands as a constructive pursuit for the youth, promoting physical and mental well-being outside of work commitments.

In this regard, the GD Goenka Sports Arena will cater to 3000 students, enabling them to focus on their fitness and wellbeing. Furthermore, the academy will also function during post-school hours for the students.

Underscoring the significance of sports in students' lives, Nipun Goenka, Director of GD Goenka Group, said,'' The new sports facility at GD Goenka Public School in Vasant Kunj marks a significant step towards enhancing the well-being of our students. By providing world-class infrastructure, we empower them to embrace fitness, teamwork, and responsibility, nurturing not just athletes but well-rounded individuals poised for success."

''It is inspiring to see the focus of sports expanding beyond cricket. GD Goenka Sports Arena reflects a shift towards promoting diverse sports, offering students a broader spectrum of athletic opportunities to explore and excel,'' said Rannvijay Singha.

Emphasising collaboration, Abhinandan Sekhri said,'' Sports has always been my first love, and its importance in a healthy society cannot be overstated. The coming together of sports management companies and schools to make a big tent for children to work together and interact is an excellent idea.”
