He explained that “Yoga” plays a vital role in keeping a person both Mentally and Physically fit for leading a healthier and happy life. He emphasized that “Yoga” takes an important place especially for personnel in uniform like the BSF, as  practicing regular “Yoga” relieves physical and mental stress of the troops, who are exposed to multifarious challenges while performing their duties day in and day out in far flung, remote/isolated border areas under trying conditions.  He further urged that  “Yoga” is a way of life and it should be adopted by one and all to make their life free from all ailments.   “Yoga” costs nothing in comparison to other sports which involves purchase of sports gears and items. “Yoga” is an activity in which one does not sustain any injury like other sports events.  Whether rich or poor, young or old,  can perform the “Yogic” exercises.

Around 400 BSF troops  and families  participated in the above  event and  similarly about 50 BSF personnel participated in the mass “Yoga” congregation with great zeal and enthusiasm, which was conducted by the district administration of Cachar district in the Campus of 2 Maintenance Group Assam Riffle (2 MGAR) Silchar, where Deputy Commissioner, Cachar, civil dignitaries, officials of various departments and troops of Assam Rifle, CRPF, local police, NCC cadres etc were also present.   Similarly, BSF personnel of various subordinate HQrs/Units upto the Border Out Posts in Manipur, Nagaland & Mizoram observed the event under the guidance of trained BSF “Yoga” instructors who are trained from Patanjali Yogpeeth, Kankhal, Haridwar.
