Question

A speech on yoga should be compulsory in schools

Answer 1

Yoga would now be taught as a compulsory subject not only from class VI to X in Central Government-run schools but also as a training module in teacher education programmes.HRD Minister Smriti Irani on Monday said a national-level yoga competition would be organised in Delhi in 2016, where the best performing student will be given a cash prize . She also said the subject would not put any additional burden on students as 80 marks would be reserved for practicals.
