contributes to each child's total growth and development.
Physical education is a course taught in school that focuses on
developing physical fitness and the ability to perform and enjoy day-

necessary to participate in a wide range of activities, such as soccer,
basketball, or swimming. Regular physical education classes
prepare kids to be physically and mentally active, fit, and healthy into

engaging lessons, trained P.E. teachers, adequate instructional
periods, and student evaluation.

are influenced to a considerable extent by the physiological process of
the body. The development of the organic vigor is dependent on a wide
selection of activities and so conducted that the normal functions of the
body are developed and improved.

A good deal of physical activities helps the individu-als and groups to
develop certain skill, which gives satisfaction and happiness in a variety
of ways during leisure times. Being physically illiterate many people do

wholesome expression to their innate desires and interests,
5. THE CENTRAL ADVISORY BOARD OF
EDUCATION
2. Origin of the Board:
The idea that there should be a central
Advisory Board of Education was first put
forward by the Calcutta University
Commission (1917-19) which felt "that the
Government of India could perform an
invaluable function by defining the general
aims of educational policy, by giving
advice and assistance to local
governments and to the development of
educational ideas in the various provinces,
and also elsewhere than in India." Almost
simultaneously the Government of India
Act, 1919 decided to make education
mainly a provincial and a transferred
subject and to limit the `control' of the
Central Government over it to the
minimum. This fundamental decision
changed the character of the Government
of India from that of an executive to an
advisory authority; and consequently, the
Secretariat Procedure Committee set up to
implement the Government of India Act,
1919, observed that, in future
Revival and Reconstitution of the board:
For the next twelve years, there was no Central
body to advise the Government of India in
educational matters. However, a feeling of
regret at the discontinuance of the Board began
to grow, especially after the Report of Hartog
Committee (1928) which observed that the
divorce between the Government of India and
education had been unfortunate. consequently,
the present Central Advisory Board of Education
was revived in 1935.
