Punjab government extends 'CM Di Yogshala' at village and block level

After the successful launch of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann’s ambitious project “CM Di Yogshala” in all the districts, the mass campaign aimed at keeping people of Punjab fit and healthy is all set to further spread its wings at village and block level from Saturday onwards. The Government has recruited 315 new yoga trainers, who will be deployed in blocks and villages, to conduct free yoga classes.

Earlier, the ‘CM di Yogshala’ campaign was launched in 24 cities in three phases. The 24 cities include Amritsar, Ludhiana, Phagwara, Patiala, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, SAS Nagar, Sangrur, Bathinda, Barnala, Faridkot, Fatehgarh Sahib, Ferozepur, Fazilka, Gurdaspur, Kapurthala, Mansa, Sri Muktsar Sahib, Pathankot, Rupnagar, Nawanshahr, Tarn Taran and Malerkotla.

Presently, over 1600 ‘CM di Yogshalas’ are being organised daily in the morning in these cities, wherein, over 35000 people are taking advantage of these yoga camps.

The Chief Minister had launched this mass campaign not only to ensure good health but to also de-stress the people, who face numerous challenges every day in their lives. The rising stress levels amongst people is a major cause of concern for everyone and Yoga can play an important role in saving people from it.
