The annual summer sports and cultural camp for students of municipal schools kicked off at the Indira Gandhi Municipal Corporation (IGMC) Stadium here on Thursday.
Municipal Commissioner Mr. Rama Rao inaugurated the free camp along with officials of sports and education wings.
Speaking on the occasion, he asked students to make the best use of the camp in which coaching and equipment would be provided to participants.
He said sports and cultural activities were as important as academics, and with excellence in various areas, students could be all-rounders.
Mr. Rao wished luck to three girl students who were going to take part in a cultural competition in Malaysia.
He asked parents to ensure their children didn’t miss the coaching until May 20, the last day.
