Indigenous Sports is a 2-credit VAC (0-0-2) under UGCF 2022, taught in 2025-26 as a practical-only indigenous games paper (vac.du.ac.in/indigenous-sports.html credit tiles). As per the official VAC page at vac.du.ac.in (live DU subdomain, syllabus collapse section), the course has four practical blocks — Unit I Indigenous Games and Physical Fitness (16 hours) on significance of indigenous games; Unit II Indigenous Games/Sports and Mental Fitness (16 hours) on group dynamics and team building; Unit III Recreation and Leisure Games (12 hours) on leisure to relieve youth stress; and Unit IV Indigenous Sports on International Platform (16 hours) on pursuit of excellence among youth — totalling 60 hours practical with 0 lecture, 0 tutorial, 2 practical (tiles and syllabus headings). Examination is as per University guidelines with file and demonstration. Students often lose marks by treating it as theory about 'games' without demonstrating a specific indigenous game's rules and by skipping the mental-fitness reflection, which the viva asks for (as of 12 Sept 2026).
