India certify yoga

Amid the Modi Government’s push for yoga, AYUSH Ministry has decided to certify institutes imparting training in the ancient discipline for physical and mental well-being to ensure quality control and check mushrooming of centres which do not meet even the basic standards.
The ministry has asked yoga institutes across the country to apply for government certification by the end of this year.
The module for this scheme has already been prepared by the ministry.
“The scheme provides a mechanism to ensure the credibility and authenticity of the services provided,” AYUSH Minister Sripad Yesso Naik said.
Secretary, department of AYUSH, Ajit M Sharan said, the Ministry is likely to issue guidelines in this regard soon.
The scheme applies to both wellness centres and institutes that offer training and diploma/degree courses in yoga. The various criteria for certification will include infrastructure of a given institute, number of instructors employed, the period it has been in existence and the kind of courses it offers.
An institute seeking accreditation will have to apply online with Quality Control of India (QCI). “We will put a detailed accreditation form on our website. There is a guidelines book that will be published and will be freely available to all institutions. Institutes can then apply following which our assessors will visit them and decide whether they qualify to be certified by the Ministry of AYUSH,” QCI secretary general R P Singh said.
Secretary, AYUSH, Ajit M Sharan said the exercise has been necessitated because of mushrooming of yoga institutes which do not meet even the basic standards.
“Rishikesh has 300 yoga institutes. There have been instances when people have come from abroad and felt these institutes hardly have anything to offer. So there are instances of litigation and police complaints.
...Hence, there is a need to certify or give accreditation to these centres so that they carry certain credibility. We are not regulating them but we are saying that these are the minimum required standards, if you meet them then we will certify you,” he said.
The Ministry had last year announced voluntary certification of yoga professionals in collaboration with QCI in order to certify the competence level of trainers. Around 10,500 yoga professionals have since registered with QCI and 300 of them have received the certification.
QCI secretary general Singh said, “We intend to homogenise the whole chain through which professionals and institutes are accredited so that there is a uniformity in the entire yoga curriculum.” He went on to add that eventually yoga centres, including those abroad, will get certified by QCI and AYUSH Ministry.
The council has roped in prominent yoga exponents like ISHA Foundation’s Jaggi Vasudev, Art of Living’s Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Ramdev, H R Nagendra and O P Tiwari, among others, who have helped design the module of the scheme.

yoga in physiotherapy

Times of India 06.06.2016


MEERUT: Days after the University Grants Commission (UGC) asked central universities to include modules of yoga teaching and training in their bachelor's and master's courses in physiotherapy, UGC has now made the template of the syllabus available on AYUSH website.


in a communication to vice-chancellors earlier in May, UGC secretary Jaspal S Sandhu had referred to a letter received from the Union HRD ministry seeking inclusion of yoga in bachelor's and master's of physiotherapy courses from the forthcoming academic session. Joint secretary in HRD ministry Ishita Roy had written to the UGC secretary in this regard and also informed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has desired that the possibility of giving preference to candidates with requisite knowledge of yoga, should be explored.


Instructing further in this regard, a fresh circular issued by Sandhu, read, "This is in continuation of my earlier letter written with reference to Ministry of Human Resource Development letter dated May 13, 2016, and Ministry of AYUSH letter dated April 19, 2016, regarding yoga syllabus recommended by the committee on yoga education in universities, for bachelor's and master's in physiotherapy (BPT & MPT). The template of the syllabus designed by the Ministry of AYUSH is available on the UGC website. The universities may adopt modules from the syllabus keeping in mind the requirement of the course."


Earlier, a government appointed committee on yoga education in universities, headed by HR Nagendra, who is also considered to be the Prime Minister's yoga guru, had recommended yoga syllabus for a 4-year bachelor's course and a 2-year master's course in physiotherapy. The committee had made several recommendations related to setting up of yoga departments in universities.
