Kondapalli fort comes alive with yoga enthusiasts
Hundreds of people gathered at Kondapalli Fort on the outskirts of Vijayawada at the break of dawn on Saturday to take part in the Yogandhra programme organised by the NTR district administration.
District Collector G. Lakshmisha said that the administration has been organising programmes as part of the month-long Yogandhra campaign in every village, mandal, tourist and historic sites since May 21. The administration had also organised such programmes at the Gandhi Hill, Pavitra Sangam, and Haritha Berm Park in Vijayawada.
Mr. Lakshmisha encouraged people to practise yoga every day for 45 minutes for a healthy life. 'Yoga is panacea to all the lifestyle problems youngsters are falling prey to, such as BP, diabetes, hormonal imbalances and stress,' the Collector said while adding that the aim of organising such programmes is to increase awareness among the people about its benefits.
Later, A.P. Non-Gazetted Officers' Association State president A. Vidyasagar thanked the administration for organising such programmes and encouraged public to make yoga a part of their lives.
The fort came alive with cultural programmes, conducted by the Amaravati Yoga and Aerobics, as part of the programme. Students from the Sirisha Yoga Academy and Government Nursing College impressed the enthusiasts with their Operation Sindoor-themed performance.
District officials, public, students, members of the A.P. State NGO members took part.
