NATIONAL YOGA OLYMPIAD
(SCHEME AND GENERAL GUIDELINES)

“ For beginner in Yoga, the path is work; for one advance in Yoga the path is stillness of mind”
Bhagavad Gita (6:3)

          The aim of all education, undoubtedly, is the attainment of human excellence and perfection, not just in any field of knowledge or activity, but life in totality. This means nurturing of holistic development of personality in a way that is congenial to the growth and development of oneself and others around him/her. In practical life, this has to be translated as qualities of truthfulness, righteous living, purity in personal life, self-confidence, integration of body, mind and intellect, love and compassion towards all living beings. Practicing Yoga in the true sense will support this. The National Education Policy 2020 has focused on Yoga as an important contribution to our rich heritage.
