Andhra Pradesh Plans to Link Sanjeevani Scheme With Yoga

The Andhra Pradesh government wants families to practise yoga at home.

It plans to connect a health programme called Sanjeevani with another programme called Intintiki Yoga.

Yoga, meditation and breathing exercises will be encouraged.

Officials are preparing rules for how the programme should work.

People may also receive health services through Sanjeevani.

Short Telugu videos could explain diseases, healthy food and ways to prevent illness.

Pregnant women and new mothers may receive information about some health concerns.

The government says preventing sickness is better than waiting to seek treatment.
