Govt schools embrace yoga through Olympiad initiative
Ranchi: Govt school students are now learning yoga through the Yoga Olympiad initiated by the Jharkhand Education Project Council (JEPC), embedding yoga into their daily lives.
The initiative aims to promote holistic well-being among school children by encouraging the regular practice of yoga and making it an integral part of school life.
As part of the programme, selected participants from the Yogamay Jharkhand Olympiad are receiving specialised yoga training from May 29 to June 12.
The trained students will represent Jharkhand at the National Yoga Olympiad, scheduled to be held from June 15 to 18 in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu.
To institutionalise yoga activities and ensure their continuity, the education department has directed the formation of yoga clubs in all govt and aided schools. These clubs will be constituted on June 12, said officials.
Each club will have seven members, including the principal (president), physical education teacher (secretary), and five student members comprising the prime minister, sports minister, and health Minister of the Bal Sansad, along with two students who show interest in yoga.

Talking to TOI on Saturday, state project director at JEPC, Shashi Ranjan, said, "The clubs will be responsible for planning and executing yoga-related activities, especially around key dates such as International Yoga Day."
One of the key highlights of the campaign will be the mass Surya Namaskar event which will be held across the state on June 11. From 7:15 am to 8:00 am, students across govt and govt-aided schools will participate simultaneously in performing Surya Namaskar.
During this time, students will also practice a standardised 32-posture yoga protocol, helping them to improve flexibility, focus, and overall well-being.
Further promoting the integration of yoga into school life, the education department has announced yoga-based competitions on June 19 and 20 as part of the International Yoga Day celebrations. These competitions will be held at the school level and will include painting, essay writing, and quiz contests.
School principals will be responsible for ensuring the successful organisation of these events and for encouraging student participation.
To ensure sustained engagement with yoga, the programme also includes provisions for weekly yoga practice sessions to be held every Wednesday and Saturday in all schools. In addition, a monthly yoga competition will be organised on the last Saturday of each month, providing students with a platform to showcase their skills and deepen their practice.
