Addressing the gathering, Dr Lakshmisha said yoga helps improve concentration, self-confidence, discipline and mental well-being, enabling students to cope better with stress and academic pressures. "Yoga is the foundation for building a healthy future generation. 

Every student should make it a part of daily life," he said. The collector highlighted the state government's Yogandhra initiative, aimed at promoting a healthy and prosperous Andhra Pradesh through the widespread adoption of yoga.
