Former Vice-Chancellor & Founder of School of Yoga
" अथ योगानुशासनम् " is the first sutra of Patanjali Yoga Darshan and it gives a clear message that discipline in thought, speech and action is the first step towards the spirituality of the Yoga philosophy.
In our country, Yoga is a culture which brings us good health, harmony, peace and a skilled mind. The Yoga Department of Ranchi University, Ranchi was established on 19th December, 2017 with Choice Based Credit System mode of two-year Post-Graduation in Yoga course under the vocational course.
The vision behind this course was to follow the Indian Ancient Education system with a combination of a modern scientific approach. Emphasis is given to hands-on practical experience and in-depth research in the field of Yoga.
The global demand for well-trained and skilled Yoga experts is high. UGC has started NET/JRF examinations and the Ayush Ministry, Government of India, has started QCI-level examinations for Yoga students.
I wish success to all our students in achieving their goals and contributing meaningfully to the field of Yoga and society.
