Yoga would be taught in schools during the first period to align students with Indian civilization and culture, Health Minister Anil Vij said on Tuesday.
The move comes as the state government is making efforts to make yoga a mandatory part of the curriculum.
The minister said rules were being framed to ensure that the first period in the schools is dedicated to yoga teaching. "The state government has decided to set up 'Yogshalas' in about 6,500 villages. Rules will be framed to ensure that yoga is taught during the first period in government and private schools," he said at the foundation stone laying ceremony for the 'Acharyakulam' school being set up at Dikadala near Panipat.
