Yogi Adityanath with Baba Ramdev
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has made Yoga compulsory in all schools across the state. This announcement comes days after he proposed the move along with making self-defence lessons mandatory for all girl students in the state.
The Rani Laxmibai Aatmaraskha Kaaryakram (self-defence programme) and the Yog Shiksha Kaaryakram (yoga education programme) would be made mandatory for all schools across the state.
The move comes as a part of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party government’s efforts to popularise yoga over the last few years.
Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Dinesh Sharma, in a media interaction stated that Yoga was not part of any religion but a part of physical fitness.
