AP: Yoga to be practiced in the DGP-IGP conference

Vijayawada, Nov 10 (UNI) Yoga will be practiced during the three-day All India DGP-IGP conference scheduled to be held in Tirupati from December 4 in which the Prime Minister, Home Minister and prominent persons will participate.
Andhra Pradesh Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav on Tuesday said that the conference is scheduled to be held from the 4th to the 6th in December at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) campus in Tirupati.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, union Home Minister Amit Shah, several other prominent figures, and senior police officers from across the country will attend this meeting. By incorporating yoga sessions into this national-level conference, the event aims to raise awareness about a healthy lifestyle, the Health Minister stated.
“Yoga will be given special emphasis at the All-India DGP-IGP Conference. In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision—to popularize yoga globally and integrate it into daily life—a special yoga practice session will be conducted over the course of the three-day event,” the Minister highlighted.
Satya Kumar Yadav held a meeting with the officials and reviewed the arrangements being made under the aegis of the State AYUSH Department for a programme aimed at enhancing the physical fitness, mental tranquility, and concentration of senior police officers, who often face significant stress in the line of duty. The Minister directed the officials to take all necessary precautions to ensure the successful conduct of the yoga practice sessions.
Police officers have responsibilities, including the maintenance of law and order, internal security, and the management of emergency situations. “In this context, yoga can help alleviate work-related stress while supporting physical and mental well-being. The primary objective of this program is to foster enthusiasm and mental balance among the officers through practices that focus on breath control, concentration, and keeping the body active,” the Minister asserted.
During the event, yoga sessions will be held every morning at a scheduled time in a peaceful environment. These sessions will last for 45 minutes and will follow the 'Common Yoga Protocol,' which has been designed in accordance with international standards.
Minister Satya Kumar Yadav said that Neetu Saini, P. Sundar Raju, Khushboo Sharma, and Shubham Arya from the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga have been appointed as yoga instructors, and Rahul Singh Chauhan has been appointed as an English commentator for the conduct of yoga programs.
