Mumbai: Five students from government schools of Odisha interacted with president of International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach at a function in Mumbai on Saturday.
The programme was organised as a part of the Olympic Values Education Programme (OVEP) during the visit of Bach to Mumbai for the IOC session.
During their interaction, the students said how the OVEP had not only enabled them to embrace the core values of the Olympics but had also motivated them to increase their physical activity and participation in sports. They also asked Bach about his Olympic journey and the importance of Olympic values in today’s world.
The children presented an artwork created by them and a report on the ‘Model IOC Session’ to the IOC president. The artwork showcased their understanding of the Olympic values.
Bach, on his part, appreciated the efforts of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik for the initiatives in sports and youth empowerment and partnership with the IOC on the OVEP and Odisha Ridley Forest Project.
Odisha is implementing the OVEP in partnership with IOC, IOA and Abhinav Bindra Foundation in 250 government schools.
