Umar Raina Ahmedabad, Jun 7: Emphasising the distinction between traditional yoga and competitive yogasana, Dr. Jaydeep Arya, General Secretary of World Yogasana and Yogasana Bharat, said that Yogasana is rapidly emerging as a global competitive sport and is on a path towards inclusion in major international sporting events, including the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games and eventually the Olympics. Addressing a press conference on the sidelines of the 1st World Yogasana Championship in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Dr. Arya said that while yoga is a spiritual journey aimed at self-realisation and wellness, yogasana focuses on fitness, endurance, flexibility and athletic excellence. Yoga is a journey to meet the inner self and attain spiritual growth, whereas Yogasana is a competitive sport. Fitness, endurance and flexibility form the foundation of Yogasana. Without these attributes, an athlete cannot excel in the discipline, he said. Dr. Arya noted that the inaugural World Yogasana Championship has helped establish a clear distinction between yoga as a holistic practice and yogasana as a sporting discipline. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modis vision for promoting yogasana on the global stage and transforming it into a competitive sport. He expressed confidence that Yogasana would soon become part of international multi-sport events. We have already secured a place in the Commonwealth Games movement and are actively pursuing our Olympic journey. This is a major achievement for India as an indigenous discipline moves towards international sporting recognition, he said. Highlighting the challenges faced in organising the championship, Dr. Arya said geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, airport closures, rising airfares and health concerns in certain African nations created significant hurdles. Despite these challenges, nearly 500 participants from various countries attended the championship. Even with travel costs increasing two to three times due to regional conflicts and disruptions, athletes remained committed to Yogasana and travelled to Ahmedabad. Their dedication has made this championship a success, he said. Dr. Arya also acknowledged the presence and support of Yoga Baba Ramdev, saying his participation sent a strong message that yogic traditions support the transition of yoga practices from ashrams to sporting arenas. Addressing concerns that yoga is traditionally viewed as an activity for older generations, Dr. Arya said the perception is changing rapidly. He pointed out that the National Education Policy (NEP) is encouraging the integration of yoga and yogasana into educational institutions. As Chairman of the Haryana Yoga Commission, he revealed that Haryana has already incorporated yoga and yogasana into its education curriculum, making it one of the first states in the country to do so. He further stated that CBSE and ICSE boards have introduced yoga and yogasana as elective and skill-based subjects, while several other educational boards are joining the movement. We are creating an educational ecosystem where yoga and yogasana become part of students development and skill-building process, he said. Speaking about global expansion, Dr. Arya said Yogasana Bharat and World Yogasana are currently active in more than 700 districts across India and are training participants in over 100 countries through online platforms and distance learning methods. COVID-19 taught us the power of digital education. Through online training platforms and virtual coaching, we have been able to reach athletes across the world. Today, more than 100 countries are receiving training in yogasana, he said. He revealed that World Yogasana plans to expand its outreach to over 50 additional countries in the coming months through collaborations with educational institutions and governments. Mauritius has already incorporated yogasana into its curriculum and is set to host the next World Yogasana Championship in 2028. To strengthen international participation, World Yogasana is deploying coaches worldwide, training athletes, coaches, technical officials and administrators in all aspects of the sport, including judging systems, digital scoring and event management. Dr. Arya stressed that yogasana is not only a sport in itself but also a valuable tool for enhancing performance in other sports. Referring to Olympic medallists and elite athletes, he said yoga and pranayama help improve concentration, mental stability and overall sporting excellence. He highlighted that several countries, including Bangladesh and Nepal, have already officially recognised yogasana as a sport, while India remains a key driver of its international growth. According to Dr. Arya, India currently has more than 10 lakh yogasana athletes, supported by over 2,000 trained coaches and thousands of yoga academies and studios across the country. Major institutions, including NIS Patiala, Patanjali University and sports universities, are producing trained yogasana professionals every year. Looking ahead, he envisioned a future where yogasana would rival the popularity of mainstream sports. The enthusiasm among young athletes is growing rapidly. Yogasana is becoming a platform for fitness, discipline and professional opportunities. The athletes of today will become coaches, mentors and global ambassadors of yogasana tomorrow, he said. Dr. Arya reiterated the philosophy guiding the global yogasana movement: We are not competing against other countries. We are working together to make the world healthier and better. Our guiding principle remains Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam the world is one family.

Committee on Demographic Changes: Salient features & the effective agenda
The national committee on demographic changes has an onerous task in hand to take people on board at a national level and listen to the grievances, complaints and suggestions of the people FRAGRANCE OF IDEAS ASHWANI KUMAR CHRUNGOO Finally, the government of India recently decided to appoint a high-level national committee on demographic changes in the country. It is a well-timed decision that has historic dimensions and value and will determine the civilizational path, in future, for India to take. The decision is aimed at scientifically assessing and addressing unnatural demographic shifts caused by illegal immigration and other abnormal factors. The Committee will be headed by Justice Prakash Prabhakar Naolekar (Retired Supreme Court Judge) as its chairman. The full composition of the national committee membership is as follows:The Census Commissioner of India, Durga Shanker Mishra (IAS Retd.), Balaji Srivastava (IPS Retd.), & Dr. Shamika Ravi (Member of the PMs Economic Advisory Council). The Joint Secretary (Foreigners-I) of the Ministry of Home Affairs will be the Member Secretary of the national committee.The five-member national committee will be tasked with submitting its comprehensive report within one year, with an optional six-month extension if required by the Ministry of Home Affairs. The high-level committee plans to analyse abnormal population changes across religious and social communities, particularly in border states, and recommend actionable policy, legislative, and administrative measures.It is a decision that will take care of many demographic challenges towards which the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, NSA Ajit Dobal and the General Secretary (Org.) of the BJP, B.L. Santosh, referred to various times during the last year, particularly during the election time. India has been severely affected by demographic changes post the 1971 war and the liberation of Bangladesh. The illegal infiltration from Bangladesh and of Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar both have created havoc throughout the country. This illegal population has social, cultural, economic and security dimensions for the nation, and an early resolution of the issue is on the agenda of the present government, which is quite reassuring. The main challenge for the governmentwas initially to convert this to a functional & working agenda, which it has done. There are a number of Pakistani infiltrators also living in various parts of the country who are always a standing security threat to the nation. These infiltrators have different denominations, and these go on changingthem perpetually. In Jammu and Kashmir, wives and children of the so-called surrendered terrorists, besides some others who were born in Pakistan, are also living illegally in various parts of the state. Moreover, these illegal infiltrators were/are being provided shelter, safety and other facilities by the political leaders, and even the state governments ruled by opposition parties, considering them their vote-bank. The Supreme Courts recent judgement upholding the SIR done by the ECI, paving the way for deletion of these infiltrators from the electoral rolls, has opened gates for their detection, deletion and deportation. The Home Minister of India has repeatedlysaid that the infiltrators will ultimately be deported to their respective nations. Generally speaking, the common citizens throughout the country and also the nationalist populace in Jammu and Kashmir feel very happy and satisfied with the formation of the national committee. It is expected that the representatives of the people will make their presentations before the committee when it starts working in the near future. It will be incumbent uponthe politicalparties, social organisations and the other NGOs to present their point of view in this regard before the committee. The challenges are seen as thecivilizational challenges by the nationalist populace of the country. Recent elections in WestBengal have given a soulful push to the debate of infiltration in the country. The challenges in this regard can be seen and observed besides West Bengal in Assam, UP, Kerala, Maharashtra and even in the states like Uttarakhand, Delhi, Haryana and HP. The alarming bells in relation to the illegal infiltration by Bangladeshis and Rohingyas of Myanmar have added dangerous dimensions to the already existing grave scenario. In case the issue remains unaddressed, there are all possibilities of a civil-strife in an eventual unseen future. The past history of six decades from 1947 onwards saw most of the political parties and players, so-called human rights activists and intellectuals, and also writers cum activists openly supporting the demographic imbalance for their political and vested interests. In particular, their support for the illegal infiltrations were motivated by their appeasement policies and vote-bank politics, and they even didnt miss to involve the courts also in this imbroglio. A battery of senior lawyers keep on fighting the cases of these illegal infiltrators as they are paid heavily by certain agencies to fight these cases. There is another dimension to the issue of demographic imbalance. Besides the uneven growth of population in various religious and caste denominations over the last seven decades, the Hindu population in the country has seen a worrisome negative downward trend. While the current birth-rate among Hindus per couple is 1.90, the Muslims have the birth rate of 2.50. The Sikh community, along with the communities like Christians, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis and non-religious denominations, have assumed a highly negative growth in their numbers, ranging from 1.10 to 1.80. While the national growth rate in this context at present is approximately 2.00, the Muslim community growth rate stands at 0.50 more than the national growth rate. Several southern states have raised this issue a number of times. Their strict adherence and follow-up of the national family planning policy has brought their numbers down as compared to the northern states. This demographic challenge has its different dimensions in different ways in different states. The common thing is that these challenges are poised to create social, cultural and economic disparity and tensions leading to an unhealthy political situation in the country. Consequent upon the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Hindus in Kashmir, four decades ago and afterwards, the forced mass exodus of the community opened the gates for demographic invasion at the local

Radar shield for Himalayas as Jammu gets MeT Centre
Abid Bashir Jammu, Jun 05: Marking a major overhaul in Indias weather forecasting architecture, the Union Government on Friday launched a Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) inJammu, amoveaimed at strengtheningweather monitoring and disaster preparedness across the sensitive Himalayan belt of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh. Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh described the development as a historic restructuring of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), saying the 151-year-old institution is entering a new era of decentralised forecasting and region-specific weather services. The newly upgraded Jammu Regional Meteorological Centre will now function as a specialised weather hub for the northwestern Himalayan region,with a sharp focuson mountain meteorology, snow forecasting, high-altitude weather systems and early warning dissemination in vulnerable areas prone to avalanches, flash floods and cloudbursts. Addressing the gathering during the launch, Dr Singh said the decisionwas takento reduce the operational burden on the Delhi Meteorological Centre, which until now had handled the entire northern belt. Under the new arrangement, Jammu will oversee meteorological services for J&K, Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh, while Delhi will cater to Punjab, Haryana and the national capital region, he said. A third regional centre for Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand is set to become operational in Lucknow on June 8. The Meteorological Department has completed 151 years, and today a new chapter begins with the decentralisation of northern weather services, Dr Singh said, adding that accurate forecasting and timely warnings are becoming increasingly crucial in the face of rising climate-linked disasters. The Centre also unveiled an ambitious expansion of Indias radar network under MissionMausam,with plans to install 50 additional weather radars across the country in the coming years. Dr Singh said India had only 17 weather radars in 2014, but nearly 30 more have been added over the past decade, taking the current total close to 50. The expanded radar network is expected to significantly improve real-time tracking of rainfall, thunderstorms, snowfall and extreme weather activity, particularly in mountainous regions where terrain often complicates forecasting. Highlighting recent technological advancements, the minister said the IMDs Nowcast Service is now capable of delivering highly accurate weather forecasts up to three hours in advance, allowing authorities to respond more effectively to rapidly changing weather situations. He also referred to the newly introduced SkyCast system at Delhi International Airport, which provides advanced fog forecasting and helps minimise weather-related flight disruptions. Calling weather forecasting an essential pillar of Prime Minister Narendra Modis vision of a ViksitBharat,Dr Singh said improved meteorological infrastructure would play a critical role in protecting lives, infrastructure and economic activity. He further disclosed that the IMD has signed Memorandums of Understanding with institutions in Jammu and Srinagar, along with the Department of Science and Technology, to strengthen climate research, data-sharing and scientific collaboration under the governments Whole-of-Government approach. Officials believe the Jammu RMC will emerge as a strategic weather command centre for the Himalayan region at a time when climate change is intensifying extreme weather events and increasing the need for precise, localised forecasting.
