- Anganwadi workers and assistants were made to practice yoga, emphasizing a healthy body and mind.
Anganwadi workers and assistants were given a yoga practice on Tuesday at the district’s Anganwadi Center in Katgodi. This initiative, being conducted under the guidance of Collector Mrs. Chandan Tripathi, is promoting yoga at various Anganwadi centers.
Ayush District Magistrate Dr. Alvina Grace Toppo said that the objective of this initiative is to arouse interest in yoga among Anganwadi workers, assistants and small children and to realize the concept of ‘healthy body, healthy mind’.
He said that yoga practice is beneficial for people of all classes and ages, but it is essential to practice it under expert guidance before starting it. Nowadays, due to hectic lifestyles, stress, and irregular eating habits, people are struggling with physical and mental problems, and yoga is emerging as an effective solution. The program also conveyed the message of increasing health awareness and making regular yoga practice a part of daily life.
