The University Grants Commission (UGC) is working on a plan for introduction of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in yoga in universities. The proposal, in line with the Narendra Modi government's focus on yoga, envisages that departments related to yoga be set up in various central universities from the next academic session. A senior functionary said that the proposal is being worked out and it is thought certain quarters that even in research there is a lot of scope on how yoga helps the physical and mental aspects of the body. A well-placed source said announcements in this regard are expected in the coming days. On the initiative of Prime Minister Modi, the United Nations declared June 21 as International Day of Yoga.
