Vigour of Body for Vigour of Mind

Philosophy & Purpose

Our own Swamiji opined that "playing football is better than reading the Mahabharata." In ancient Buddhist viharas, they used to teach the students martial arts. “It is exercise alone that supports these spirits and keeps the mind in vigour.” — Cicero.

An educational institute is a place for the growth of the mind. But, as the leaf cannot produce food without a healthy root sucking water from the mud, a sound and peaceful mind cannot exist without a healthy body. Moreover, the way India is shining in sports and athletics it is the duty of any educational institution to encourage its students to continue the legacy.

Mankar College has always kept faith in the traditional teachings. It believes that students must be engaged in sports for their own benefit. It makes them healthy and teaches them team spirit, bonding and focusing on the goal.
