Impact statement
- The main issue of this research paper is to describe the problems faced by the students especially the undergraduate and postgraduate students in the Department of Physical Education of Guru Kashi University Talwandi Sabo (Punjab) and how they were helped by the university administration during the Corona crisis.
- University administration and department helped wholeheartedly and removed all kinds of problems. Nevertheless, with the support of the University Administration and the teaching staff of the University College of Physical Education, students can easily participate in the online education process. The university administration helped the students in every way during this period. He didn’t let any problem related to fees come. The team of teachers was always ready to clear their doubts online. Counseling was also done from time to time so that the students do not feel any kind of pressure or tension.
- When we talk about its benefits, it comes out that in times like this be it university administration or any other educational institution or any other institution, it should help its students or employees in every way in times of such calamity. Under this, there should be no financial aid, mental pressure or tension, moral spot should also be given for this. As a recommendation, it can be said that online education is not very beneficial especially for physical education and sports courses. Because the field of physical education and sports is completely connected with the field, in other words we can say that practical classes hold a very important role in this field. If still, online classes have to be run in the event of disaster or pandemic, then along with prior training to the students, provision of laptop and internet facility etc. should be arranged by the government free of cost or interest-free loan by the university administration. If there is such a system, then the student can take education without any stress and pressure.
- This paper and the research behind it would not have been possible without the exceptional support of Dr. Ravi Kumar Gahlawat, Prof. Department of Physical Education, Guru Kashi University Talwandi Sabo, Punjab, (India). During this study his counsel and guidance was very helpful. I also grateful to other teaching staff of Department of Physical Education, Guru Kashi University Talwandi Sabo, Punjab, (India) for collection of data.
- I myself am a research scholar of this department during this Corona period. I felt the kind of problems the students, especially the physical education students, whose work is mostly related to the sports ground, are facing.
