A Study on School Culture & Physical
A STUDY ON SCHOOL CULTURE & PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS OF BALANGIR DISTRICT PJAEE, 17 (12) (2020) "A STUDY ON SCHOOL CULTURE & PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS OF BALANGIR DISTRICT" MISS MARY KAMOLINA EKKA PH.D SCHOLAR, DR PMIASE SAMBALPUR, ODISHA, INDIA DR NIBEDITA GURU GUIDE, PRINCIPAL, CTE BALANGIR, ODISHA, INDIA Miss Mary Kamolina Ekka , Dr Nibedita Guru, A STUDY ON SCHOOL CULTURE & PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS OF BALANGIR DISTRICT, -- Palarch’s Journal Of Archaeology Of Egypt/Egyptology 17(12). ISSN 1567-214x Keywords: School Culture, Physical Activities, Secondary Schools. ABSTRACT I mean the whole creation of the best of childhood, mind and spirit by education. With regard to the concept, I thought that physical education education improves the overall growth of the child's body, mind and spirit. To date, physical and physical education has become a demonstration of a future education society in the 21st century. In this perspective, the researcher conducts the analysis by descriptive study method in 170 high-school students in the Bolangir district and five students and PET instructors of each school. Introduction: According to NASPE, an instructional programme of high quality improves the physical, emotional, and emotions of every child and offers health evaluation to help children recognise, develop and/or preserve their fitness.In other words the all- round development of a child is possible through physical activities. That’s why it is said that - “Sound mind resides in a sound body”. So regular physical activities in schools are an integral part of the students' full and total education curriculum and a way of making a positive effect on health and well-being in their lives. -

Village and Town Directory, Balangir, Part-A, Series-19, Orissa
CENSUS OF INDIA, 1991 SERIES 19 ORISSA PART XII DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK PART A - VILLAGE AND TOWN DIRECTORY BALANGIR R.N. SENAPATI OF THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE Director of Census OperatioDS, Orissa CENSUS OF INDIA, 1991 DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK PART A - VILLAGE AND TOWN DIRECTORY BALANGIR FOREWORD Publication of the District Census Handbooks (DCHs) was i ni tiated after the 1951 Census and is continuing since then with some innovations/modifications after each decennial Census. This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Govt.! Union Territory administration. It inter-alia provides data/information on some of the basic demographic and socia-economic characteristics and on the availability of certain important civic amenities/facilities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners, administrators, academicians and researcher". The scope of the DeB was initially confined to certain important census tables on population, economic and socio-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each viilage and town (ward-wise) of the district. The DeHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and Village and Town Directories including PCA. After the 1971 Census, two parts of the District Census Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Directorie~ and Part-B comprising Village and Town PCA) were released in all the States and Union Territories. The third part (Part-C) of the District Census Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census table!':, whtch was also to be hrought out, could not be published in many States/U .Ts due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material.
