After a success of the Mo Beach campaign and the Blue Flag eco label accorded to the Golden Beach, Puri, the district administration started a two-day beach-based public health programme, Mo Beach Yoga, on Saturday.
The initiative is aimed at promoting public health and environment education in a novel way amidst Covid-19 after the golden beach, identified under the Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project (ICZMP), recently received the ‘Blue Flag’ certificate.
The programme is a pilot project of the State Directorate of AYUSH, Department of Health & Family Welfare. It started with 200 participants, all Covid-recovered persons, in 10 locations of the beach.
