ABSTRACT
Co-curricular activities form a vital link in the pattern of blended educational experiences for all boys
and girls in the modern Indian schools. They cater to the development of a child's entire personality. Since
these activities ensure an all-round development of the personality of students, it is essential that these
activities should be accommodated in the time-table during regular school hours. This will enable all
students to take part in these activities .as participation in such activities can help them in developing
various skills which could help in their academics and in the life as a whole. The study establishes that
the perception of educational values of co-curricular activities have direct bearing on the academic
achievement of the higher secondary students.
