Assessment of Physical Education at the High School Level in Dhankauda Block, Sambalpur, Odisha

Author(s) Mr. Yudhistira Das

Abstract The present study investigates the status of physical education in selected high schools of Dhankauda Block, Sambalpur District, Odisha, with particular emphasis on the availability and adequacy of physical and human resources. The study was conducted using a descriptive survey design. A purposive sample of ten government and government-aided high schools was selected, comprising 120 respondents, including 10 headmasters, 10 Physical Education Teachers (PETs), and 100 students. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires designed separately for each respondent group. The findings reveal considerable disparities in the availability and condition of physical education infrastructure across schools. While most schools possess playgrounds and some basic facilities, variations exist in size, maintenance, and accessibility. A few schools lack proper playgrounds, sports rooms, and storage facilities, thereby limiting the effective implementation of physical education programs. The study also highlights differences in the availability of trained PETs and the frequency of physical education classes, indicating that schools with qualified personnel and better infrastructure demonstrate more regular and structured physical education activities. The study concludes that despite the presence of physical education, gaps in infrastructure and implementation remain, requiring improved facilities, stronger support, and effective policy execution.
