Ensuring a vibrant campus life, participation in sports activities and developing a Students Services Centre (SSC) for managing problems related to stress and emotional adjustment, are among the new guidelines framed by the University Grants Commission (UGC ) for promotion of physical fitness in higher educational institutions. "The main objective of these guidelines is to promote physical fitness and sports activities among students, inculcate a positive attitude and develop a supportive network of students. These are essential to strengthen the mental well being of students to safeguard themselves against different kinds of stress, pressure and behaviour issues they face," said UGC M Chairman Jagadesh Kumar.
