Physical education and Sports is a sector which is very wide in scope and extremely significant in its impact on society. There is lack of sports consciousness and culture in the country. In general it is believed that Sports can only be pursued at the cost of academics. We even have a very well known saying in India for it.

“Padhoge Likhoge Banoge Nawab, Kheloge Kudoge Banoge Kharab”

Such Myths exaggerate our imbalance towards physical activity.

As we live in the 21st century with all the issues of sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy food habits, stressful careers, this imbalance needs to change else we will face a generation which will have a lower life span than the previous. There are already studies indicating that 30% population of children today is obese. Obesity is a disease. That is an alarmingly high number as there is research to show that 80% of obese children grow up to be obese adults. Diseases like type II diabetes, high cholesterol, stress related disorders are very common in this category. The sowing of the seeds of physical activity as part of one’s lifestyle can only happen from childhood. It is a habit that needs to be formed early on. It is therefore clear that physical education needs to be an integral part of education in all our schools. In addition to the obvious health and fitness outcomes we are also looking at a great deal of life skills learning through sports, grooming better citizens.

The Dictionary definition of Secure and Security is free from danger or risk. Anything that gives or assures safety or something deposited as the fulfillment of an obligation or pledge is security. The word security means “the state of feeling secure”. Secure comes from the Latin word securus which means “carefree”; while the etiology of the word “guard” is rooted from French word garde, or garder which means “to protect”. By putting these words together, security guard will mean “to protect the carefree feeling”.

Healthcare sector in India has been growing rapidly over the years and is estimated to reach US$ 280 billion by 2020. Consequently, the sector is also experiencing an incremental demand for human resources across verticals; from doctors, nurses to allied health professionals and technicians. As per the recent PHFI report, India has a shortfall of 6 million Allied Health Professionals in the country. India is far behind global standards in terms of availability of doctors per 1000 people (India 0.6; US 2.56 or UK 2.3), Nurses (India 0.8; US 9.37 or UK 12.12), Midwives (India 0.47; UK 0.63) and Lab Technicians (India 0.02; US 2.15)

To meet the growing human resource challenges, the National Skill Development Corporation and the Confederation of Indian Industry have constituted the Healthcare Sector Skill Council (HSSC). The Council is expected to promote a vibrant vocational education system in healthcare in the country by setting up occupational standards, affiliating training institutes, assessing competency of trainees and issuing certificates. The Council aims to facilitate skilling of 4.8 million people over the next 10 years in allied health and paramedics space.
