The Mental grooming and Self-esteem of the Students through Co-curricular activities: A Teacher’s view

Abstract

In the life of a student, the academic pursuit is mostly emphasized as deemed to be an only key to his/her success in life. In the present world, the life has become too complex to be led by the academic qualifications alone. There are other very important factors those which help in shaping the life of a pupil as a whole. In this regard, the co-curricular activities have an important role coupled with those of curricula as they re-enforce each other reciprocally. The students those who participate in the co-curricular activities are not only physically fit rather they are mentally sharp, responsive and participative regarding the various healthy activities. Here, it is justified to say that co-curricular activities must be a part and parcel of a student’s academic life as it enhances his/her self-esteem and prominence in the entire society. The profile of the same student also stands high before his/her teacher because of the appreciation he/she has collected at the institutional level or above.
