Exclusive Yoga Protocol For Elderly Implemented By Department Of Science & Technology:Jitendra Singh

Union minister Jitendra Singh on Monday said the Ministry of Science and Technology is implementing an exclusive yoga protocol for the elderly. "The project sanctioned under a Special Cell of Science and Technology for Yoga and Meditation (SATYAM) and titled 'Developing a Community Yoga Protocol for Elderly to promote Innate Immunity' aims to build immunity of elderly citizens, who are particularly vulnerable in the backdrop of the Covid pandemic," he said. Pointing out the special significance of having a separate protocol for yoga in the elderly, Singh said on the one hand, India is witnessing a progressive increase in lifespan with correspondingly increasing population of elderly citizens and on the other hand, elder citizens continue to remain energetic and productive till late years of life. Therefore, in order to ensure their physical and mental well-being so that they can play a constructive role in nation-building, yoga is a natural, non-medicinal and non-pharmaceutical therapy for fitness, the science and technology minister said.
