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.
