Yoga to be made compulsory in Udupi schools

By Our Staff Correspondent

Udupi May 28 . The President of the Udupi Zilla Panchayat, B. Bhujanga Shetty, has said that yoga, moral education, and the activities of the Seva Dal will be made compulsory in government and private schools in the district.

In a press release here, Mr. Shetty said the zilla panchayat had directed the heads of schools in the district, through the DDPI, to reserve two periods every week for yoga, moral education, and for the activities of the Seva Dal.

Since it would be difficult for students coming from rural areas if these were taken up after regular school hours, the school heads had been instructed to reduce the number of periods for physical education, and allot a minimum of two periods a week for yoga, moral education, and Seva Dal activities.
