Govt to institute ‘Yoga medals’ for paramilitary troops

Besides, it has also planned to re-employ retiring personnel of the Central Armed Police Forces as master yoga trainers in order to create a constant resource pool of teachers for about 9 lakh personnel of CRPF, CISF, ITBP, SSB and BSF.

The two decisions were taken at a meeting attended by top officers of these forces and the Union home ministry recently where it was resolved that close to 30,000 personnel will take part in IYD in various state capitals and other prominent cities.
