Technology is considered an enabler. The advent of television, computer and mobile communication has, no doubt, empowered individuals but it is widely believed that such technologies have negative impact among the children and youth in terms of inadequate physical activities and social interactions. The academic system in the country at the school level also does not allow the children to get into physical activities. Thus the institutions of higher learning have an extra responsibility to provide enough infrastructure and environment so that the students get opportunities to participate in outdoor and indoor sports activities regularly. I am happy to know that the Sports Council of our campus is holding the 34th sports meet, popularly known as BOSM (BITS Open Sports Meet), during 13 to 17 September 2019. BITS Pilani has always emphasized on the overall growth of its students and that is why it has ensured that the students are provided with the adequate outdoor and indoor sports infrastructure on the campus. Over the years BITS students have shown increasing participation in sports activities. They are also regularly participating in sports events held in other organizations and winning medals. BOSM has been expanding both in terms of number of people participating in the event and the activities organized year after year. Participation in sports activities help to develop good habits, confidence, and discipline. It also helps in developing companionship, team spirit, and leadership. Sports make players into community leaders and teach them how to strive for a goal, handle mistakes, and cherish growth opportunities. BOSM strives for achieving these objectives. I am confident that BOSM 2019 is going to be an exciting event for all, BITSian as well as outstation participants. I congratulate the organizers and the participants and wish the Meet a great success.
