The games will be part of a new subject, ‘The Traditional Games of India’ under the BA (Physical Education) degree.
The traditional games are being revived under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, according to the university. At present, students of Physical Education are taught up to 25 games such as volleyball, wrestling, swimming, cricket and basketball.
