A. PHYSICAL EDUCATION
•Physical education and health are played a pertinent role. It helps mainly in the prevention of disease. One

approach towards health and physical activity with the concept of wellness. A healthy lifestyle is not solely

a quality of life is a standard of inspiration and increasing achievement. The awareness of health-related fitness

academic stress, poor diet, and increased alcohol use. The message is clear that for a nation prosper everyone
should be physically active. It should be borne in mind that we cannot separate the health and physical
education course. The direction should be a proper combination of the health course with the physical
education course to get the immense benefit.

•Wellness is a multifaceted term. It is not merely about physical
fitness. It is about feeling healthy inside out. It is a state which
optimizes our potential to the maximum. It is living a fuller and more

emotional, mental, social, and spiritual health too. Wellness is about
feeling healthy, happy, and prosperous from within. Wellness is a
process and a journey. A journey towards leading a life of conscious
choices. Wellness is a holistic approach. It is about an all-round
