Sir/ Madam,
Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan has decided to encourage yoga education in all its schools. The National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005 has set broad guidelines for physical education and elucidated the importance of including yoga as a compulsory subject. Yoga education contributes to not merely the physical development of the child but have a positive impact on psychosocial and menial development as well. Yoga is to be taught from class VI onwards in all the Kendriya Vidyalayas.
