25,000 tribal students perform Surya Namaskaram
Speaking on the occasion of 25,000 students performing Surya Namaskaram at the Andhra University Engineering College Grounds on Friday to achieve a record, Lokesh said that it's one of the proud moments.
Lokesh mentioned that the entire country and world is looking towards Visakhapatnam which is hosting the record-breaking event in the world of history.
As many as 25,000 tribal students of Alluri Sitarama Raju district performed Surya Namaskaram in 15 minutes, creating a Guinness World Record. The Minister stated that he was surprised to see the commitment and perseverance of the tribal students.
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give him an opportunity to organise International Yoga Day in Visakhapatnam so that it would be done in a historical manner, the Minister said.
Lokesh informed that 5 lakh people would participate in 'Yogandhra-2025' and create a Guinness World Record. 'Yoga is not just about Asanas but is a way of life. It teaches discipline to all of us. When I was of your age, Nara Chandrababu Naidu used to do yoga with me,' the Education Minister recalled, addressing the students.
Further, he congratulated ASR District Collector Dinesh Kumar for making the students practice yoga meticulously for the past one year. 'The Prime Minister loves Andhra Pradesh and Visakhapatnam very much.
He is coming to the city for the second time in a year. Achieving Guinness Book of World Records through largest participation in yoga is a gift to be presented to the Prime Minister,' Lokesh said. Speaking on the occasion, Union Minister of State for Ayush Prataprao Ganpatrao Jadhav mentioned that tribal students who grew up in the forests of Andhra Pradesh have created a record with great effort and coordination. He said that if children in urban areas were asked to do 10 Surya Namaskar for 10 minutes, 9 of them would fail. He attributed the lack of physical exercise, eating habits and mobile addiction to this. He hoped that these students would set more records in future.
Among others Tribal Affairs Minister Gummadi Sandhya Rani, Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav and MP CM Ramesh participated.

He further stated that, at a cost of nearly Rs 600 crore, infrastructure including a parade ground, playground, commandant quarters, staff quarters, school, and hospital will be constructed with full facilities. 'An eco-friendly atmosphere will be developed by increasing the water level and creating a water body,' he added. On cost-sharing, he said, 'The majority of the fund will be provided by the state government, with the remainder coming from the Union government.' The ADGP also mentioned that a letter will be forwarded requesting additional land for future expansions, including a police training centre and other developments. Inspector General of Police Sandip Patil said, 'Once the battalion is set up, there will be no need for Kolar, KGF, Chikkaballapur District, and parts of Bengaluru Rural District to depend on KSRP from Bengaluru. The IRB can be utilised for bundobust and emergency services.' Patil highlighted the strategic advantage of the location, stating, 'The site has dual road connectivity and is adjacent to the Bengaluru-Chennai Express Highway. The hillock within the 100 acres will be utilised for some other purpose.' DIG Dr Ramakrishna and other senior police officers were also present during the visit. Earlier, saplings were planted along the boundary of the 100-acre land.
