Tripura government has decided to include Yoga in school curriculum in support to the national campaign.
Chief Minister Manik Sarkar has declared that Yoga would be introduced as a subject in State-run and government-aided schools from 2016.
He informed the inclusion would be in curriculum from class I to class VIII.
Hitherto, yoga was practiced in schools as an extra curriculum activity in the State.
The inclusion as a subject was taking place after the Modi government launched a massive campaign which culminated celebration of the International Yoga Day (21st June).
CBSE-run schools already introduced the subject up to 10th standard.
Tripura school education and the sports affairs departments together would prepare curriculum and modalities for the new subject.
