Punjab has decided to increase funding for sports activities in schools and begin the formal distribution of sports kits from the next fiscal year.
According to education board officials, the annual sports fund will be raised from Rs. 10 million to Rs. 15 million to support and expand sporting activities across affiliated schools.
As part of the initiative, 1,000 schools in the Lahore Division will receive sports kits next year. The selected institutions will include 500 boys’ schools and 500 girls’ schools affiliated with the Lahore Board.
Officials have also directed all nine educational boards in Punjab to ensure that sports kits are distributed among their affiliated schools and to take effective steps to make sporting activities more active and accessible for students.
The kits will contain equipment for cricket, football, hockey, basketball, table tennis, and other sports.
The initiative is aimed at promoting a stronger sports culture in schools, encouraging students to participate in healthy activities, and increasing their involvement in organized sports.
