He told the walkers associations to engage themselves in social service activities. He expressed pleasure that KU campus has been serving the walkers’ needs and assured that the university would extend its support for the future activities of the association.
KU Sports Board secretary Gade Pani felt that it has become essential for every person to take some or the other kind of physical exercise to beat the stress and health issues caused by modern life style. The association should take extensive campaign to promote walking, he added.
