Conference on yoga and youth health conducted
The Government Ayurvedic Research Centre, Mysuru, in association with Yuvaraja's College, University of Mysore, conducted a conference on Yuva Arogya Yoga Mahotsava -2025, here on Wednesday. N.K. Lokanath, Vice-Chancellor, University of Mysore, said in his presidential address that while the State has made commendable strides in education and health care accessibility, youth-specific health indicators and increase in life-style diseases were a cause for concern. Citing various studies, the Vice-Chancellor said there were worrying trends of obesity, type-2 diabetes and hypertension, and growing incidents of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders among the students. He flagged excessive screen time leading to digital fatigue, affecting both physical and cognitive well-being. Prof. Lokanath, substance abuse including tobacco and synthetic drugs were also prevalent but on the positive side there an increase in interest in yoga, fitness, and wellness programmes. This, he said, reflects a shift towards a more conscious and preventive health mindset. Underlining challenges to youth health, Prof. Lokanath listed poor dietary habits and inadequate physical activity, peer pressure and social media influencing unhealthy behaviours and self-image, limited access to youth-friendly health services in rural areas, fragmented approach that treat symptoms but ignore the causes etc., as having a bearing on the general health of the youth population. In this context, the Vice-Chancellor said yoga was India's timeless gift to the world and it held great promise. India's traditional wisdom like yoga, unani, siddha, etc., and modern medical understanding could be synthesised to provide integrated, sustainable and effective solutions, he added. Shekar Naik, Head, Department of Food Science, Yuvaraja's College and others were present.
