The so-called Yoga Day is being celebrated on Tuesday, and many CBSE schools have forced their children to be there in their respective schools at 7AM in the morning. One can imagine that the Central Government is keen on Yoga. But why should it imposed?
If the child has to reach the school at 7AM, will the parents not be so anxious to pack off the children earlier than even 5AM in a huge city like Chennai? What will happen if there is some problem to even a single girl child?
Imposing Yoga is not a great idea. It should be made optional, and the classes should start only at 8AM, and not 7AM, in the metros, as transportation is a huge problem. Thousands of buses and vans fight for space in the metros, and the traffic jams are so huge indeed.
The Government should create conditions for anything, including Yoga, to be enjoyed by school children. Imposing it, will only invite criticism that the Central Government has a political agenda.
