New Delhi: The Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY) marked a historic day by signing three significant Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with Gargi College, University of Delhi, the National Security Guard (NSG), and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). These agreements aim to expand the reach and impact of Yoga across educational institutions and national security forces, highlighting the institute’s commitment to promoting Yoga as a holistic approach to health and well-being.

MoU with Gargi College, University of Delhi

The first MoU was signed between MDNIY and Gargi College, University of Delhi, in the presence of Dr. Kashinath Samagandi, Director of MDNIY, and Prof. Sangeeta Bhatia, Principal of Gargi College. This collaboration aims to introduce various certification courses such as the Foundation Course, Protocol Instructor Course (CCYPI), and Wellness Course Instructor (CCYWI), specifically targeting the development of professional competencies among girl students. The partnership also explores the possibility of launching a full-time diploma course exclusively for women, aligning with the broader goal of empowering women through education and Yoga.

MoUs with NSG and CISF

MDNIY further expanded its reach by signing two additional MoUs with key security forces in India—the National Security Guard (NSG) and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). The MoU with the NSG Training Centre in Manesar, Gurgaon, Haryana, was signed by Dr. Kashinath Samagandi and Brigadier Shankar Ji Tiwari, DIG (Ops. & Trg.) HQ NSG. Simultaneously, the third MoU was formalized with the CISF Training Centre, with Shikha Gupta, IG (R&T) of CISF, representing the force.

These agreements are focused on integrating Yoga into the wellness regimens of India’s security forces. The collaborations will involve conducting regular Yoga training programs, specialized protocols, workshops, conferences, and research activities aimed at studying the impact of Yoga on uniformed personnel. This initiative is expected to enhance both the operational effectiveness and personal well-being of the security forces.
