On August 29, 2025, SAI International Residential School marked National Sports Day with a vibrant and inspiring celebration in honour of the legendary hockey wizard Major Dhyan Chand. The day commenced with a special combined assembly orchestrated by the Sports Department and led by the SIRS Sports Coaches. The assembly began with a warm welcome and a heartfelt tribute to Major Dhyan Chand, followed by a graceful yoga performance by students. A highlight of the program was the screening of the hockey maestro’s historic Olympic match against Germany, a fitting tribute to his unmatched contributions to Indian sports.
As part of the celebration, winners of the Inter-House Yoga and Girls’ Swimming Competitions were felicitated, recognising their discipline, determination, and commitment to excellence. The sporting spirit carried into the evening with inter-class matches in basketball, football, and volleyball, alongside a dynamic aerobics session for the girls. The Student Council played an active role in energising the events, demonstrating leadership, teamwork, and enthusiasm.
The celebration stood as a true testament to the values of unity, perseverance, and sportsmanship, the very ideals Major Dhyan Chand embodied. Kudos to the coaches, participants, and organisers for making the day both memorable and inspiring for the entire SIRS community.
