KADAPA: Additional Joint Collector G. Joshi Babu on Sunday lauded students of YSR Regional Sports School for studying well, excelling in sports events at the national-level and securing silver jubilee medals.

Speaking at National Sports Day celebrations on former Indian hockey captain Dhyan Chand's birth anniversary at the regional sports school at Putlampalle here, he said sportspersons have good employment opportunities. Sportspersons can achieve fame by continuing in sports activities even if disinterested in doing a job.

Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences Superintendent L.C. Obulesu recalled that though he was keen on becoming an athlete, such facilities were not available in his student days. Sportspersons would earn respect if they excel in studies as well as sports.

Industrialist Madhukar Reddy said he was a sportsperson and told students to participate in State and national sports events and fulfil YSR's goals.

Sports School Special Officer Ramachandra Reddy said students of the school set up by former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy in December 2006 secured silver jubilee medals in national sports events.

Training
Students were being trained in hockey, football, swimming, boxing and other sports events, he said. Additional Joint Collector presented cash prizes to sportspersons who excelled. Syndicate Institute of Rural Development official J. Vijaya Kumar, coaches and students participated.
