To celebrate the International Yoga Day 2016 the government schools in the state of Rajasthan has opened way before their regular schedule. In Rajasthan, the government schools were supposed to reopen after the summer vacations from July onwards but to celebrate the International Yoga Day and to teach the young students the importance of Yoga in our lives and the wonders it can do, all the government schools opened today.
Education minister Vasudev Devnani’s order read, “The entire staff of each school has to ensure that they should make necessary arrangements for Yoga (Day) on June 20. On June 21, you should ensure that students of private schools and people living in the nearby areas should join yoga from 7 am till 8 am.”
Also, the Rajasthan Urdu Teachers Association president Amin Kayamkhani, said, “It is our duty to make Yoga Day a successful event, but any attempt to impose religious belief will not be tolerated.”
