Vice- Chancellor, JNU
Subject: Request for providing sports
coaching facilities for JNU children
Dear
Professor Bhattacharya:
I write this as a follow up to
our conversation in a meeting last
year.
There are more than 25 children
in JNU Campus that
are interested in
taking coaching for various
sports
such a tennis, badminton etc. JNU
already boasts of basic sports facilities for this purpose. However, for some
inexplicable reasons, this precious infrastructure is not being made use of.
This is especially needed for Campus
children who are in the growing
age [especially 8 to 17 years] and are keen
to learn.
As such, I
would like to request
you to kindly give necessary instructions for
providing
coaching facilities for lawn
tennis
and badminton
for Campus children which can also be availed
of by interested
students.
This can be by allocation of
separate sloted hours. In this
connection, JNU needs to hire
respective
coaches on contract basis and pay
them modest fees from already available
sports funds.
For this purpose
the lawns
also need to be duly
maintained and sufficient lighting
need to be provided so that
the children
can play in the evenings too.
This will amount to vital investment for inculcating strong sports culture among
the Campus children.
I would also like to place before you that a
separate yoga timings with a trainer to be given for faculty and their
spouses as the current yoga sessions are open to all, students, and people
from outside making it too conjested and also bit uncomfortable.
I hope
and trust that you
will accord requisite sanction for this proposal as well as give instructions to
the concerned staff to give effect to it expeditiously.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
Sunita Reddy
