Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on the occasion of India’s 75^th Independence Day announced that the ‘Deshbhakti’ curriculum will be rolled out in government schools from September 27. The decision has been taken to give a tribute to freedom fighter Bhagat Singh. After hoisting the national flag at Delhi Secretariat to mark Independence Day, the chief minister also announced that yoga classes will be started in Delhi's halls and parks from October 2.

Talking about the commencement of Yoga classes in the Capital, the minister said, "Delhi gave yoga to the entire world but now it is becoming extinct. Apart from the International Yoga Day celebrations on June 21 that are held every year, there is not much happening for yoga. We will be starting yoga classes and are preparing a huge team of yoga teachers and instructors. A group of 30-40 people, who want to learn yoga, can approach us and we will provide yoga instructors.”
