Yoga Sudha - December 2024

Abstract

My dear Brothers and Sisters, At S-VYASA's state-of-the-art City Campus, we are proud to offer nearly 30 programs in Engineering, Management, Computer Science, and Allied Sciences, attracting close to 1,000 students. These programs aim to blend academic excellence with holistic well-being, incorporating Yoga as a core element to address the challenges of burnout and stress in high-demand professions. Today’s professionals, especially in IT and corporate sectors, face immense workloads, often exceeding 12-14 hours daily. Tragically, heart attacks and other Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are becoming common among young individuals in their 20s - a trend highlighted by Dr. Devi Shetty of Narayana Hrudayalaya. Once primarily affecting those over 60, these health issues now plague the younger generation, underscoring an urgent need for preventive measures. Recognizing this, the Ministry of Health has allocated 20% of its annual budget to establish 1.2 lakh Wellness Centres nationwide. Yoga has emerged as a cornerstone for preventive healthcare and positive health promotion. Over the last 15 years, S-VYASA has pioneered research-backed Yoga protocols tailored to combat burnout and address major health challenges in corporate and IT sectors. In addition to fostering physical and mental resilience, our programs enhance essential skills such as memory, IQ, creativity, and physical stamina. With integrated Yoga protocols embedded in the curriculum, our undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral courses prepare students to become role models in their professions, equipped to meet industry demands while maintaining a balanced lifestyle. Situated in the vibrant IT hub of Bengaluru's Satva Global City Campus, our infrastructure matches international standards, fostering collaboration with leading companies in the park. Industry executives actively mentor students, bridging education and real-world corporate needs, ensuring exceptional job opportunities. We invite alumni, parents, and well wishers to guide young aspirants toward these transformative programs, starting next year, to build a brighter, healthier future for all. g Dr H R Nagendra
