For decades, the Indian education system placed a massive, sometimes exclusive, emphasis on textbook learning. However, in the modern world, getting 99% on an exam is no longer the sole guarantor of success. Colleges and employers are looking for well-rounded individuals. This is where extracurricular activities become essential.
