Glad about this wonderful initiative!!! However, we have been doing this as part of the school Curriculum as PE and SEWA from Grade 1. The same curriculum has now been taken into CBSE .

Congratulations to the CBSE board for this marvellous move and wish every school in the country implement it fairly ! CHEERS!!!
