Co-curricular activities (CCAs) are non-academic activities that ideally all students must participate in. This concept of CCA’s is introduced and clubbed with routine teaching to enhance social interaction, leadership, healthy recreation, self-discipline and self-confidence among the students, both as an Individual and as team.Through CCAs, students in their early teens are often given actual public responsibilities. Scout and guide, Red Cross and NSS members, for example, are often required to render first aid at public events. Most uniformed groups require precision, management and organizational skills, providing training to prepare students for the outside world.

Co-curricular pursuits are integral to the educational program and— whether or not they carry academic credit—have legitimate links to regular courses and to the purposes of middle level and high schools. They underpin the goal of teaching students to be responsible and fulfilled human beings with opportunities that develop character, critical thinking, social skills, and talents. Co-curricular activities also provide students with a network of peers and adults who have interests and talents similar to their own. Students who participate have the chance to excel individually, be part of a group, and gain real-life lessons about the importance of teamwork, responsibility, commitment, and hard work.

Co-curricular activities are an extension of, not a diversion from, a good educational program and support the academic mission of the school. Students who participate in activity programs tend to have higher grade point averages, better attendance records, lower dropout rates and fewer discipline problems than students who don't participate

Students who participate in co-curricular activities not only do better academically than students who do not but also develop other facets of their personalities in the process. Self-esteem self-confidence, social cooperation, and leadership skills are just a few of the cognitive factors that are affected. Co-curricular activities allow students to blend aspects of their academic learning into personal actions
