In the future, if you visit the government college hostels in Tamil Nadu, then don’t be surprised by the presence of high-tech gymnasiums there!!
It is known that there are 275 hostels available in Tamil Nadu for the students belonging to BC or backward communities, MBC or most backward communities and DC or denotified communities etc. Sixteen of these hostels have gymnasiums in Chennai.
There were many requests from the students, parents and stakeholder to have gymnasiums at the government college hostels in Tamil Nadu. It is now said that the Backward Classes Welfare Department moves come at this point of time. This was brought out by a senior officer belonging to the higher education department. He added that all the 275 hostels would have gyms and separate space would be allotted for this. Separate gyms would be available for both men as well as women and the gyms would also have trainers.
The gyms for men would have equipment like dumbbells, push-up bars, karla kattai, skipping rope, bicep rods, shoulder rods, latest weight lift plates and bench press seats etc. Likewise, gyms for women would have dumbbells, skipping rope, stretching rope etc. To provide coaching and for diet advice of the students, trainers would be appointed and they would visit the gyms on a regular basis.
The senior official later explained that to encourage the students competitions would be held based on the usage of the gyms. Based on the trainers or students request, new equipment would also be purchased.
