Move to take yoga to the masses
Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has agreed to impart yoga training to 5.4 lakh Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) recruited under the government's flagship National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). This was decided at a meeting between Baba Ramdev and Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Anbumani Ramadoss on Tuesday. While the procedural details will be worked out later, Baba Ramdev has agreed to send experts to all villages to train ASHAs in yoga who, in turn, will conduct yoga classes for the people.
