School Students Start Sit-Ups To Sharpen Brain

Chandigarh: A government school in Haryana on Monday started a brain-teaser exercise on a pilot basis at the morning prayer session in which the students will do 14 sit-ups everyday. And if the results after a year-long mandatory exercise for students of Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan School in Bhiwani are positive, the exercise will be made mandatory in all government schools in the state. “Since it is a scientifically proven fact that doing this exercise helps increase one’s brain efficiency, we started this today from a school,” Haryana School Education Board Secretary Rajeev Parshad said. According to him, this exercise is a ‘super brain yoga’ and should not to be treated as punishment. Its impact on the students will be monitored periodically. (IANS)
