Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) or the Mizo students federation has objected to the proposed inclusion of yoga in the education system.
A press statement issued by the MZP today expressed its objection to the proposal to teach and practise yoga in central government-run schools in the state and urged the state education department and authorities of central institutions not to introduce yoga in the educational institutions.
The MZP said it would protest if yoga is included in school text books, the statement said.
