NEP 2020 treats sports and physical education as integral to the curriculum. Regular physical activity is seen as essential for health, discipline, teamwork and life skills, and must appear in timetables as a core component of schooling.
Option A:
Option A is incorrect because NEP rejects the idea that sports are merely optional “extra” activities; it wants them embedded in curriculum time.
Option B:
Option B is correct since it captures the idea that sports and PE are central for physical fitness, social skills and life skills and are part of formal learning.
Option C:
Option C is incorrect; NEP wants all students, not just aspiring professional athletes, to benefit from sports and physical activity.
Option D:
Option D is incorrect because using sports primarily as punishment misrepresents their positive educational and developmental role in NEP.
