The recently concluded district-level school games highlighted the emerging sporting talent from rural areas, with students from across the district delivering remarkable performances and securing spots at state-level competitions.

A major highlight was an 11-year-old student from Rural Kalan who qualified for the state-level karate championship, earning widespread appreciation. From Lohian block alone, 14 students-both boys and girls-from Government School Kakar Kalan qualified for the state-level karate competition, making the school a hub for nurturing young talent.

In addition to karate, one student from Lohian block secured a place in the state-level yoga competition, while another earned a spot in the relay race. The block also celebrated the selection of five girls for gymnastics at the state level.

Officials from the Sports in Education Department expressed pride in the students' achievements. "Most of these children come from humble families, yet they display extraordinary dedication and discipline. Their hard work is truly commendable," said one official.

Sohan Lal, a teacher from a government school in the area, lauded the students' determination. "Many of our students participated and excelled at various levels. After winning at several stages, they reached the district level and performed exceptionally well. With the right opportunities and support, they will undoubtedly achieve great heights," he said.

Even students from Government School Dhakka Basti, a village recently affected by floods, put up an inspiring performance, demonstrating resilience and passion for sports despite challenging circumstances.
