SC dismisses plea for making yoga compulsory in schools

Dismissing a plea seeking to make yoga compulsory for students of classes 1-8 across the country, a Supreme Court bench on Tuesday said it is for the government to take a decision on such issue. The bench said, “What is to be taught in schools is not a fundamental right.” The petitioner had sought a direction to the Ministry of Human Resources Development, NCERT, NCTE and CBSE to “provide standard textbooks of 'yoga and health education' for students of Class 1-8 keeping in spirit various fundamental rights such as right to life, education and equality”, says a report.
