Abstract
Sports and games as a vital component of social and cultural life are embedded in the Indian heritage. They had been seen as an intrinsic component of education and holistic development of human personality. Enabling the youth of today to graduate with a sound mind in a sound body should be the aim of holistic development in higher education institutions. The vital role played by sports and games in the development of an individual and the need to integrate the same into the academic framework of educational institutions should be realized by educators and educational administrators. Students actively engaged in sports and games face challenges of internal nature including their personal involvement in academic oriented activities, class attendance, time constraints, personal goals and career choices, physical and emotional fatigue, transition to college environment and academic performance, institutional policies, expectations from parents and marginalization from mainstream campus activities. This article highlights that Higher Education Institutions should strive to realize the holisticand integrated development of students. Integral formation involves complete and solid formation of every aspect of student's personality, to form an essential component of fundamental and distinctive educational philosophy. Its goal is to nurture them to be intellectually competent, spiritually mature, morally upright, psychologically integrated, physically healthy and socially acceptable. In the changing context of student life and educational scenario, emphasis of sports and games should form an essential aspect of holistic development through integral formation. Policy makers and administrators of higher education need to essentially create an environment integrating sports and games into college wide activities.

Abstract
Intelligence is one of the endowments that every individual is born with. It plays a key role in learning as well as it is an indicator of a person's achievement in various areas of life. Educational researches have since long unearthed that intelligence is not monarchic, unitary or only of one type. Howard Gardner, a professor of Harvard University has propounded Multiple Intelligence theory wherein there are as many as eight types of intelligences. This article takes a cue from the multiplicity of intelligence types especially Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence which involves sports, games, performing arts and other activities of that nature and explores the possibilities of its accommodation in the curriculum with due/appropriate weightage and its assessment through Achievement Tests/Academic exams of the schools, colleges and universities in the formative and summative evaluation of the pupils.

Role of Football in Economic Development
Surya Narayan Ray is presently working as Assistant Professor in Department of Commerce at Dinhata College, Cooch Bihar, West Bengal. He has completed his PhD from Calcutta University.
Abstract
Football is the most popular sport in the world today. The 2010 football world championship in South Africa was viewed by over a billion people worldwide. Even the Euro 2012, the 14th European Championship for European National Football teams, was viewed by over 250 million people worldwide. In Europe and America, sports are important to economic development. About 2 million people are employed in the sports economy in the European Union that amounts to an overall 1.3% of the overall European Union employment. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that football being the most popular sports worldwide is a serious business nowadays with the top 20 richest football clubs generating total revenues to the tune of 3.73 billion euros during 2010-2011 season. There lies a vast scope for an affluent and popular football club to contribute to the sustainable development of the city it originates from through the economy, the environment and the society. In other words, a football club can be seen as an economic factor which can contribute to the economic prosperity, the quality of the environment and social equity. In fact, Rosca has developed a model for sustainable development of a city by using a football club through factors such as sustainable economic development, jobs creation, increasing revenues from taxes, local marketing, tourism and business
environment.

Abstract
Sports and games have continued to be the favorite of human beings. Besides entertainment, sports provide a viable solution in solving the problem of unemployment in our modern world which is being characterized by the shrinkage in job opportunities. Sports as a sector have ample potential to deliver better and diverse opportunities not only to the players who are on the ground but also to those who are off the ground. Vocations like sports journalism, sports commentary, sports management, sports medicine, sports goods manufacturing, adventure sports, fitness and health clinics are highly lucrative career options. In the last few years India has been experiencing a sea change in its mindset regarding sports and the offers that this emerging field can provide. In this paper, a humble attempt has been made to give more insights and details on the various opportunities that the sports in India can provide.

Abstract
In India sports is recognised as one of the best physical activity from both educational and social point of view. Government of India has recognised sports as a part of education curriculum. Earlier only a few students, who were fond of games like hockey, football, cricket or tennis, were allowed special facilities. Schools and colleges do not have adequate facility to meet the demand of the sports. Infrastructure, trainer, coach and equipments. It is also not possible for the educational institutions to offer those facilities with limited means. Parents now consider sports are an important tool for development of children. A new breed mostly from sports background has come up to offer solution in
this segment in the area of sports education. Sports education and management is finally taking off in the country. Schools can offer traditional sports with limited resources. Their models insist schools focus in academics, they take care of sports. This article will discuss various business models in sports education.

Sports and physical education are necessary components of human development, good health, and companionship with a spirit of friendly competition. This has a positive impact on the overall development of the personality. Brilliance in sports enhances a person's sense of achievement, national pride and patriotism. A study of sports history is crucial to understand the evolving sporting heritage of a nation. Darjeeling, 'Queen of Hills' is also popular in many forms of sports. However, not much of work has been done in Sports History of Darjeeling; though there is a craze for sports in the society. Unfortunately, the legacy of sports (especially football) in Darjeeling declined after the agitation of 1980s and not gaining any momentum for a revival. The main thrust of the study is to reveal the legacy of the sports in Darjeeling accompanied by the history of sports in India and its critical evaluation.

Abstract
India's youth need lot of encouragement to achieve excellence in sports, firstly from the parents, secondly from the sponsors and last but not the least the government. Sports can foster good citizens and build life skills and positive values. As a result Government and Non- government organizations need to come forward. Best facilities are required for producing best sports wo\man. The funds allotted to the sports ministry in various States and the Union Government is always meagre. The Governments do not feel it necessary or important to provide an adequate fund for sports. Even the funds allotted are seldom spent properly. The Sports Authorities in many states are mere ornamental organizations. They should be filled with people who have adequate knowledge of sports and interest to promote sports. This is an attempt to explore the role of government and non government institutions to encourage students take to sports. This is the situation in our country which requires reforms at all levels so that the Indian youth can be encouraged to achieve excellence in sports. Despite many flaws there is reason for optimism as we are witnessing fast changes in each and every field in our country towards betterment; it should hold well in case of sports as well.

The purpose of the study was to find out the difference between hill and plain school going student's explosive strength, strength endurance and body mass index [B.M.I]. The researcher has taken twenty five (n=25) school students from Kurseong and twenty five (n=25) school students from Siliguri randomly as the subject for the study. The subject's age ranges from 13 to 15 years which is taken from school admission register. The researcher measured age, weight, height as personal data and conducted standing broad jump and sit ups as tools to measure the explosive strength and strength endurance. Similarly B.M.I is measured by using the formula=Wt.( Kg)/Ht.( mts.). In standing broad jump the mean and S.D of hill and plain female students are 1.52, 0.21 and 1.40, ±.15 respectively with 't' value 3.44 which indicates that hill students are significantly better than plain female students. In sit ups the mean and S.D of hill and plain male students are 19.3, ±2.83 and 22.1, ±4.18 with 't' value1.78 which indicates that plain students are better than hill students but is not significant at any level. Similarly in B.M.I the mean and S.D value of hill and plain students are 16.14, ±1.28 and 15.66, ±12.03 with 't' value of 0.64 which is not significant at both level.

Racism in International Sports: An Overview
Biju Mathew is an Assistant Professor in Political Science at Salesian College, Siliguri Campus. He has an MPhil degree from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. His area of research includes political theory and the Indian State and Politics.
Abstract
Race, just as gender and caste, is a socially constructed concept having historical, political and economic underpinning to it. The 'biological/scientific' basis of race and ethnicity was grossly misused to justify slavery, colonial conquests and discrimination even in modern independent nation states. It was taken upon himself by the white man his burden to 'civilise' the 'Other'. The other was first 'discovered', then 'classified', then 'civilised', further 'represented' and finally 'empowered'-all by the white male supremacy. And that, more or less, is the history of race and ethnic relations across the world. However, this 'biological/scientific' enterprise has been discredited, debunked and discarded for
good. Racism, as a systemic form of discrimination, has entrenched many societies at varying levels and manifests in different sectors/fields. And sport, being an integral part of the society, is no exception. Racism in sport is a complex issue. Racism will remain in varying forms and degrees, covertly and overtly, unless there is a marked and conscious effort in tackling and overcoming the issue. Even though sport does provide an excellent vehicle for establishing norms of behaviour that can be emulated by the rest of society, the ugly face of racism tends to divide people. In short, though sport does have a magical unifying spirit, racial discrimination does hamper that unifying spirit. Thus, even when there are serious attempts to address the issue head on, it is a fact that race and ethnic differences continues to shape the life chances of racial and ethnic minorities across the world.

Abstract
The colonial encounter contributed towards the process of injecting Christian code of life into the core body of the nexus of patriarchy among the Zo/Mizo tribes. Proselytisation replaced indigenous way of life including past time games, everyday life activities such as evening chats/gossips among peer groups of both sexes etc., by activities like attending Sunday schools, choir practices, church services etc. The notion of 'Leisure', 'Sports', and 'Entertainment' has undergone severe mutations via the Colonial encounter and post colonial engagements. Interestingly 'Lifestyle' has been redefined and packaged extensively through commercial manipulations. The study attempts to accentuate the contours and contortions within the same.

Alienation or Liberation? Interrogating Marxist Approach to Labour, Leisure and Liberty
Padam Nepal is a Reader in Political Science at St Joseph's College, North Point, Darjeeling. He has participated and presented papers in a number of national and international seminars and conferences.
Abstract
Sport is a key site of pleasure and domination, via a complex dialectic involving both the imposition of authority from above, and the joy of autonomy from below, and exemplifying the exploitation of the labor process, even as it delivers autotelic pleasures. Different theoretical and philosophical traditions look at the relationship between sport and societal structures and processes. The present chapter seeks to present an examination of the Marxian approach concerning labor and leisure in the context of liberty. It will begin with a general overview of the concepts of labor, leisure and liberty, explore Marxian view of human nature and the theory of estrangement, and investigate the conditions of labor and leisure in the capitalist society. Threading the three concepts, the study will finally consider Marxian conceptions of the realm of freedom and the realm of necessity in the context of labour and leisure, with reference to the Marxian Ideal Society-Communism. Finally, the article will attempt to interrogate the Marxian claim of the possibility of transformation of labour from the state of alienation to the state of liberation with the realization of the egalitarian communist society.

Abstract
Inclusive education is the need of the hour, which does not only mean inclusion of the maximum number into the folds of education but also including maximum relevant instructions and knowledge inside the system. Sports and games are absolutely necessary to make education holistic. Within the scope of this paper I would like to study three novel series and films that deal with sports and games. In doing so I hope to prove that the playing of sports (along with receiving classroom education) allows each of these individuals or the protagonists of these pieces to develop certain qualities that help them know their own selves, realise their potentials, their strengths and weaknesses, and find their purpose; making them confident, mature and respectable individuals and even leaders.
