Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga strengthening infrastructure to start virtual courses of Yoga
Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY), New Delhi, is preparing to embrace the new norm of e-education and virtual learning in the post-Covid 19 scenario. A set of capacity building steps to enable the institute to design and run virtual courses and to substantially increase its internet presence were adopted in the recent meeting of the Standing Finance Committee (SFC) of MDNIY.
Setting up digital studios from where live streaming as well as recording of yoga training sessions can be done is a priority of MDNIY. The proposal submitted by MDNIY for setting up four studios for conducting various online education and training activities was approved by the SFC. This will help the Institute to take up various online training programmes simultaneously, catering to the needs of different categories of target audience. Programmes in virtual mode will also take MDNIY’s programmes to an audience that is truly global.
MDNIY has also taken up the production of a comprehensive set of instructive videos to facilitate the teaching of Yoga. 10 Videos on Common Yoga Protocol of 30 minutes duration each have already been prepared, and used on Doordarshan to reach a wider audience.
About
The Common Yoga Protocol (CYP) was designed by the Ministry of AYUSH in 2015 to facilitate harmonious demonstration of Yoga as part of the observation of International Day of Yoga (IDY). It incorporates a set of Yoga drills that can be learned by a wider cross section of people over a period of two weeks on an average. The CYP has since been widely adopted by the public due to its standardization and ease of adoption. MDNIY has drawn up plans to popularize it further, by utilizing the potential of digital media. The proposal of the Institute to recast and produce the CYP films, E-booklets, dubbing it into all WHO languages and 19 Regionals languages has been approved by the SFC, after considering a detailed plan of action for this purpose. The proposal was approved with the advice to MDNIY to ensure high quality work of International standards.
