Full Chapter Summary & Detailed Notes - Agencies and Awards Promoting Health, Sports and Yoga Class X NCERT

Overview & Key Concepts

  • Chapter Goal: Explore agencies (NCERT, CBSE, SAI, etc.) and awards (Khel Ratna, Arjuna, etc.) promoting health, PE, sports, yoga. Exam Focus: Roles/functions, establishment years, award criteria/cash prizes; 2025-26 Updates: Emphasis on yoga for mental health post-pandemic, digital training via apps. Fun Fact: National Sports Day (Aug 29) honors Dhyan Chand. Core Idea: Agencies build infrastructure/training; awards motivate excellence. Real-World: SAI schemes like SAG for tribal talents. Expanded: Point-wise agencies/awards with evidence (e.g., NCERT's NCF-2005), examples (e.g., CBSE clusters), debates (e.g., corporate role in RKPP).
  • Wider Scope: From school-level to national; sources: Activities (e.g., HQ locations), tables on awards/schemes.
  • Expanded Content: Include modern aspects like SVYASA's online yoga; point-wise for recall; add 2025 relevance like TNNAA for adventure sports boom.
