In the last few years, somewhere down the line, we have lost the importance of physical movement. We have moved a lot more towards alphabetical literacy, numerical literacy and forgotten what the basics of physical literacy are. I think in our race to become more and more educated alphabetically, we have lost the fundamental of physical movement and it brings us back to our early days when our own native games used to have so much physical literacy in them… says PULLELA GOPICHAND, National Chief Coach, Indian Badminton, The chief patron and initiative leader of the Physical Literacy Program.
