Goa Chief Minister Calls For 15-Minute Yoga Sessions In Schools
Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has urged school teachers to practice yoga with students for 15 minutes every day to stay physically and mentally fit.

Mr Sawant, who was participating in a programme held on the occasion of the 11th International Yoga Day in Bambolim, said yoga is an integral part of the Viksit Bharat 2047 mission envisioned by PM Modi.

School teachers are trained in the practice of yoga by various organisations, he said.

"I request teachers to practice yoga with their students in schools for at least 15 minutes daily," the chief minister said.

He said regular yoga practice will help students concentrate and remain mentally and physically fit.

"Fit India is a part of Viksit Bharat 2047 mission. We want every youngster to be physically fit. We should not practice yoga only because a teacher or yoga trainer forces us. We should for ourselves and our families," Mr Sawant said.
