AYUSH Ministry Launches App to Locate Yoga Centres & Instructors
- The Ministry of AYUSH has launched a map-based location application named “Yoga Locator” to help people in locating yoga events, centres as well as certified yoga instructors within the preferred radius of their vicinity.
- The app was launched during the two-day Yoga Mahotsava 2019, a Curtain Raiser for International Day of Yoga (IDY) 2019, to sensitize the masses for celebration of IDY 2019 (June 21).
- The theme for IDY 2019 will be ‘Yoga for Heart’.
- The app will give information about yoga activities happening in the surrounding area throughout the year and help to locate yoga centres as well as yoga instructors in the preferred region. The yoga instructors will be able to register themselves through the app and reach out to a maximum number of people.
- Another App named ‘Bhuvan App’ has also been launched. It has been designed in collaboration with ISRO to provide geo time location and documentation.
