Addressing a press conference here today the Kutir's president Manohar N Deshmukh said that training is still imparted free of cost and a three-day Yoga convention has been organised from January 2, 2015, to celebrate the Kutir's 50th anniversary.
Kutir secretary Ramchandra R Surve told reporters that the institute would also establish a research wing as well as set up a video conference room to impart online Yoga training.
Doctors associated with the institute would conduct research on the health of those trained by the institute, he said.
So far, more than 1,000 inmates from prisons in Thane and Alibagh have been imparted Yoga training, they said.
