For strengthening Physical Education in Primary Classes, the CBSE initiated a pilot project in 2006 with selected schools in collaboration with the British Council. Now the Physical Education Manual and Physical Education Cards are now available with the Stores, CBSE, 17, Rouse Avenue, New Delhi and an Advisory to this effect has been sent to all schools and is also available on the CBSE website (Circular No. 57 dated 20.11.2009).
The schools were also advised to set aside 30 minutes everyday for physical fitness activities vide circular no. 09 dated 31.5.2006. This will also ensure that each student participates in one of the activities out of the eight activities mentioned in Physical Health and Physical Education for assessment of co-scholastic skills under CCE for Classes IX and X.
