Delhi: Free Yoga Classes To Be Discontinued From Tomorrow As L-G Refuses Approval

Delhi L-G VK Saxena has refused to allow the Kejriwal governmentโ€™s โ€˜Dilli Ki Yogshalaโ€™ programme to continue after October 31.

As many as 590 yoga classes going on in Delhiโ€™s parks and community spaces will be discontinued from Tuesday. Officers under pressure from the L-G have issued orders to suspend the programme despite Delhi Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research University (DPSRU) Boardโ€™s approval.

DPSRU Board of Governors had approved the extension of the programme, under DPSR University Act.
DPSRU BoGโ€™s recommendation for extension of Dilli Ki Yogshala was to be placed for ratification before the LG-chaired General Council of the university.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched the โ€˜Dilli ki Yogshalaโ€™ programme at Delhi Secretariat on in December 2021 to provide free-of-cost yoga classes to people in the national capital from January 2022.

The Chief Minister had said, โ€œMost people donโ€™t practice yoga because either they donโ€™t have anyone to teach them or the classes are very expensive and unaffordable. This Dilli Ki Yogshala programme will provide people classes and teachers free of cost.โ€

โ€œAll you need to do is get together a group of 25 people willing to learn Yoga, decide on an open space near your house, like a park or a community hall, and then give us a missed call on 9013585858. The Delhi government will assign a teacher to you. I believe people will enthusiastically take part in large numbers in this program of ours,โ€ he added.

Kejriwal informed that the Delhi government conceptualised the Yogshala programme in February 2021 and passed a budget as well.
