Physical Education (PE) is regularly seen as a minimal subject inside the educational plan. Also, numerous optional schools effectively diminish PE time to clear a path for what are regarded more “genuine” or “significant” subjects.

Research from the Youth Sport Trust shows that 38% of English auxiliary schools have sliced timetabled PE for 14-to 16-year-olds. One of the fundamental purposes behind this is the expanded strain to create exam results. A large part of the time students would, as a rule, spend in Physical education exercises is presently spent getting extra coaching on themes other than PE.

Notwithstanding these cuts, be that as it may, Physical education is as yet advocated for its capability to advance wellbeing and energize deep-rooted actual movement. This is a significant issue given that over 30% of year six students are classed as “overweight” or “stout” as indicated by the most recent government figures.

Physical education is likewise adulated for its commitment to improved mental health, for assisting with sustaining social and good turn of events – just as supporting psychological and scholastic execution.

The Association for Physical Education keeps up that excellent PE cultivates the physical, good, social, passionate, social and scholarly advancement of students. Yet, the numerous focuses on PE –, for example, wellbeing advancement, aptitudes improvement just as an emphasis on social and good issues – has brought about disarray about the subject and has done little to additional the instructive encounters by and by. Truth be told, it has been contended that PE offers more amusement than instruction.

Not scholarly enough

An exercise in futility and a touch of diversion, or crucially critical to the training and improvement of a kid – which right?

A contributor to the issue is by all accounts that Physical education is regularly seen as an open door for students to be dynamic and to have a good time. Or then again at times, as a type of pressure alleviation and to fill in as a break from customary learning.

Cleearly, these regions are significant for students’ overall prosperity and there is a developing proof base to propose that actual movement can possibly uphold learning all the more comprehensively. Yet, the part of PE isn’t just to prop up and uphold understudies’ learning in different subjects. All things considered, it should give important learning encounters inside the subject itself.

What PE apparently needs correlation with all different subjects is a stage on which understudies’ learning can be conveyed and proven with clearness and meticulousness. And keeping in mind that PE is frequently minimized to clear a path for more important or scholastic subjects, it appears to be simply the scholarly and scholastic estimation of PE itself is generally ignored.

The potential of Physical Education

Physical education, sport and actual culture each offer an extraordinary stage on which to investigate a huge number of all-encompassing learning openings. For example, the moral or good contentions in game can give educators a scope of instructive boosts for discussion, thinking and basic reasoning.

The Sports Monograph is an ongoing task we took a shot at, which welcomed students to work together and share their sentiments and encounters about game and what it intends to them. The undertaking included essential and auxiliary school understudies, just as undergrad and postgraduate understudies, who were totally upheld by their educators and instructors.

As a feature of the task, not exclusively were the understudies perceived for their composed commitments at school grants nights, however dissimilar to in customary PE, their work left a path of learning proof and scholarly commitment – which the schools perceived and celebrated. Physical education was viably standing side by side with different subjects in the educational plan as an important instructive undertaking, with composed proof to help the case. These understudies presently have distributions that are being utilized to show college understudies at the University of Central Lancashire.

Future Health

The spiraling downtrend of PE time in optional schools is a significant reason for concern and no doubt PE is in earnest need of an upgrade. Be that as it may, while the eventual fate of PE might be dubious, there are absolutely numerous open doors for cross-curricular connections and integrative learning in PE.

PE educators need to think past the bounds of the games corridor or school battleground. Shutterstock

An ongoing undertaking, for example, investigated the connection among cycling and more extensive calculated learning. Additionally, another ongoing examination investigated the actual parts of learning over all educational plan territories, basically through setting up a tent.

The job that PE can have as impact of the more extensive scholarly educational plan is by all accounts, best case scenario, downplayed, and even under the least favorable conditions, totally neglected. Exercises like the ones raised here could assist with widening the instructive capability of PE, urge more students to draw in with the subject and fortify the spot of PE as a remarkable and significant instructive interest. The open doors are there, however PE must be prepared to get a handle on them and let the understudies expound on their brandishing interests to reflect what they are supposed to learn.

The leaders issued the joint statement following talks at Hyderabad House in Delhi, where they also announced steps to boost trade, economic cooperation, and energy collaboration.

India-Russia stand firm on counter-terror cooperation

PM Modi described President Putin as a “dear friend” and highlighted Moscow’s consistent support to India on counter-terror efforts. Russia had earlier strongly condemned the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, allegedly linked to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed, and reiterated solidarity with India’s fight against terrorism in all forms.

The joint remarks emphasized that the bilateral friendship, rooted in trust and mutual respect, has remained resilient for decades despite global challenges.

A key highlight of the engagement was Russia reaffirming “uninterrupted shipments” of fuel to India.

RBI cuts repo rate to 5.25%, paving the way for cheaper loans

The RBI has cut the repo rate to 5.25%, aiming to support growth as inflation softens. The central bank also raised GDP projections and announced liquidity-boosting measures.

Reserve Bank of India

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reduced the key repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.25% on Thursday, signalling relief for borrowers as banks are expected to offer lower EMIs on home and vehicle loans. Governor Sanjay Malhotra announced the move after the conclusion of the three-day Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting.

RBI prioritises growth as inflation eases

Malhotra said the decision was unanimous, with the central bank choosing to focus on supporting economic momentum despite concerns over a weak rupee. The repo rate was earlier cut in June from 6% to 5.5% amid easing inflation trends.

The RBI now projects Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation at 2% for FY2025-26, significantly softer than earlier estimates. For the first quarter of FY2026-27, inflation is expected at 3.9%, lower than the previous projection. The governor noted that rising precious metal prices may contribute to the headline CPI, but overall risks to inflation remain balanced.

GDP outlook strengthened

In a strong upward revision, the central bank increased the GDP forecast for the current financial year to 7.3%, previously estimated at 6.8%. Growth for the October–December quarter has also been revised to 6.7%.

The last quarter registered a six-quarter high expansion of 8.2%, reflecting resilient demand and steady credit flow.

“The growth-inflation balance continues to offer policy space,” Malhotra said, reiterating that the RBI’s stance remains neutral.

Other key decisions

Alongside the repo rate cut, the RBI announced adjustments to key policy corridors:

  • Standing Deposit Facility (SDF): 5%
  • Marginal Standing Facility (MSF): 5.5%

To improve liquidity and strengthen monetary transmission, the RBI will conduct forex swaps and purchase ₹1 lakh crore worth of government bonds through Open Market Operations (OMO).

RBI reviews a challenging year

Reflecting on 2025, Malhotra said the year delivered strong growth and moderate inflation even as global trade and geopolitical uncertainties persisted. He added that bank credit and retail lending remained healthy, providing support to the economy.

IndiGo flight chaos deepens as over 500 services cancelled, passengers stranded for hours

Over 500 IndiGo flights were cancelled nationwide, leaving passengers stranded without food, clarity or their luggage as airports struggled to manage the disruption.

IndiGo flight

India’s largest airline continued to face massive operational breakdowns, triggering frustration among travellers at major airports across the country. From piles of unattended suitcases to passengers waiting over 12 hours without food or clarity, the disruption stretched into its fourth consecutive day.

Long delays, no communication leave passengers anguished

Several travellers at Delhi airport described the situation as “mental torture”, as thousands of unclaimed suitcases lay scattered across the terminal. Many slept on the floor, while others expressed anger over the lack of communication from airline staff.

One flier said he had been waiting for over 12 hours without any explanation: “Every time they say one-hour or two-hour delays. We were going to a wedding but don’t even have our luggage.”

A passenger in Hyderabad recounted a similar ordeal, saying the flight was delayed indefinitely with no food, water, or updates from the airline. At the airport, some travellers blocked an Air India flight in protest over the lack of arrangements.

Goa and Chennai airports also witnessed tense moments. Videos from Goa showed fliers shouting at IndiGo staff as police attempted to calm the situation. At Chennai, CISF denied entry to IndiGo passengers due to heavy congestion.

Major metro airports impacted; cascading cancellations nationwide

Flight cancellations and delays were reported across multiple airports:

  • Over 200 flights were cancelled in Delhi
  • More than 100 each in Mumbai and Bengaluru
  • Around 90 in Hyderabad
  • Dozens more in Pune, Vishakhapatnam, Chennai and Bhopal

Pune airport stated that parking bay congestion worsened the situation, as several IndiGo aircraft remained grounded due to lack of crew. Other airlines continued operations without disruption.

Airport authorities said they had mobilised additional manpower for crowd control and passenger support.

IndiGo admits planning lapses, says more cancellations expected

The airline acknowledged a “misjudgment” in assessing crew requirements under revised night-duty norms, which it said created planning gaps. Winter weather and airport congestion further aggravated the crisis.

IndiGo informed the aviation ministry and DGCA that some regulatory changes—such as the shift in night-duty timings and a cap on night landings—have been rolled back temporarily to stabilise operations.

The airline warned that cancellations may continue for another two to three days, and from December 8, schedules will be trimmed to prevent further disruption.

In a message to employees, CEO Pieter Elbers said restoring punctuality would not be an “easy target”.

Airline issues apology amid nationwide frustration

In a late-night statement, IndiGo apologised to customers and industry partners, acknowledging the widespread inconvenience caused by the disruptions. The airline said all teams were working with authorities to bring operations back to normal.
