Kerala Panel Orders Inclusion of Rugby in State School Sports Meet
The Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has directed the General Education Department to include rugby in the upcoming State School Sports Meet and ensure the competition is conducted within a set timeframe. This follows a petition by student Ameya Sandeep, who highlighted rugby's exclusion from the state manual despite its inclusion in the National School Games. The commission emphasized implementing a High Court directive, ensuring adequate facilities, safety measures, and alignment with national competition schedules to avoid disadvantaging students.
