Strict action will be taken to curb unhealthy trends in the sports sector in schools, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty has said.
He was speaking after inaugurating the State Yoga Olympiad organised by the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) at Government G.V. Raja Sports School, Mylam, here on Sunday.
The Minister said the government had set up an expert committee to study the discrimination in awarding grace marks in various sports events. Sportspersons put in similar hard work, and any discrimination would not be tolerated.
