Latest developments Responding to India’s mental-health awakening, 2024 saw RKMVERI launch certificate courses in yoga therapy and mindfulness, tying in with International Day of Yoga celebrations. Across campuses, students now practice sunrise Surya Namaskar before diving into physics or philosophy—proof that putting wisdom into practice remains the Mission’s greatest lesson.
