At Open Fields School, every celebration is a learning experience — and National Sports Day, also known as Khel Diwas, was no exception. Observed every year on 29th August, this day marks the birth anniversary of Major Dhyan Chand, India’s legendary hockey wizard whose unmatched skills brought glory to our nation on the global stage.
The event at Open Fields School was not just about games; it was about spirit, teamwork, and discipline — the same values Major Dhyan Chand embodied throughout his life.
Fun-Filled Races and Activities for Young Champs
Our little athletes participated in a variety of age-appropriate athletic races — from fun sprints and balancing relays to hurdle jumps and treasure runs. The campus echoed with cheers and laughter as children ran with enthusiasm, showing their competitive spirit and sportsmanship.
Building the Champions of Tomorrow
Through such activities, Open Fields School reinforces the importance of physical fitness, teamwork, and resilience. Sports is not just about winning medals; it’s about developing confidence, staying healthy, and learning how to face challenges in life.
A Tribute to the Hockey Legend
Before the races began, students paid tribute to Major Dhyan Chand — the man whose dedication and discipline earned India three Olympic gold medals in hockey (1928, 1932, 1936). His journey is a reminder to dream big and pursue excellence with passion.
The Spirit of Khel Diwas at Open Fields
The entire day was a perfect blend of fun, fitness, and inspiration. At Open Fields School, we believe every child is a champion, and Khel Diwas was a reminder that with teamwork, discipline, and determination — every child can shine both on and off the field.
