In support of their demand for creation of a post of yoga teachers in the Government schools of the State the members of trained yoga unemployed association held a demonstration before the State Secretariat on Monday.
The president of association Shankar Manral said that there are more than 1,4000 trained yoga graduates in the State and the Government should create the post of Yoga teachers in the Government schools.
