Govt’s initiative SATYAM to boost research in yoga

Aimed at strengthening research in the areas of yoga and meditation, the Ministry of Science and Technology, headed by Dr Harsh Vardhan, has kick-started an initiative titled SATYAM (Science and Technology of Yoga and Meditation).

According to officials in the ministry, the prime objective of SATYAM is to harness knowledge obtained in academic institutions and other related agencies for finding scientific solutions to several health ailments. 

The knowledge will be utilised for coping up with the stress linked to the ever-changing social, economic, environmental and professional circumstances.

The cutting-edge research under SATYAM would seek to identify various issues and challenges related to human well-being and address them.
