Supreme Court Reviews Petition to Make Sports a Fundamental Right for Children
The Supreme Court is considering a public interest litigation seeking to recognize sports and physical literacy as a fundamental right under Article 21A, which guarantees free and compulsory education for children aged six to 14. The Court highlighted concerns about children increasingly distancing themselves from physical activity due to digital device use. The petition, filed in 2017, also calls for compulsory sports education in school curricula and the formation of a committee to explore constitutional amendments promoting sports culture.
