A group of 30-40 people, who want to learn yoga, can approach us and we will provide yoga instructors," Mr Kejriwal said.
The Chief Minister announced the rollout of the Deshbhakti curriculum in government schools from September 27 and said the aim is to instill a feeling of pride in every child and also to prepare them to give their everything for the nation.
