A decision in this regard was taken at a meeting of ‘Chhattisgarh Yog Commission’ chaired by state’s cabinet minister Anila Bhediya.
According to official information, it was decided that a comprehensive annual yoga calendar will be designed and periodic yoga competitions will be held across the state.
Issues like regular yoga classes at district level and what will be the honorarium for the yoga teachers were also discussed in the meeting.
Meanwhile, officials informed that any denizen could take part in the proposed yoga classes and the process of recruiting yoga trainers will also kick start very soon. The minister also agreed to fix a certain time slot for providing yoga training in government offices.
A special programme ‘yog for youth’ aiming at keeping the young generation away from drug addiction will be also launched. In this programme youths will be informed about various aspects of yoga. Special yoga classes for women and girl students will be also held.
