'Alternative' the new black?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's faith in traditional therapy and yoga is well-documented - he even advised Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to consult a yoga expert in Bengaluru for his persistent cough and high sugar levels. Now, senior bureaucrats will learn stress management techniques at a two-day workshop to be conducted by the Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhan Sansthan. The workshop, starting March 28, is being organised for officers of the Department of Personnel and Training, and the Cabinet Secretariat. Starting as a pilot project, the programme might be extended to officers working in other ministries.
