Important national and international days are organized in the academy. These significant days can be related to forestry, wildlife, and allied subjects, or any other important subject like World Yoga Day celebrated on 21st June all over the world on the initiative of India.
At the beginning of the month on 5th June the Academy celebrated World Environment Day in a befitting manner. The memories of that event were still fresh in our mind and meanwhile the opportunity of a new event presented itself before us. On the occasion of World Environment Day, all of us Officer Trainees planted one fruit tree each with our own hands and took a pledge to take care of it properly. By the time our training is completed in the academy, some of the trees may be capable of bearing some fruits as well.
Today is 21st June and it is also the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere. On this day in the year 2015, the first International Day of Yoga was initiated. Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. It symbolizes the unity of body, mind and soul. Today, on the occasion of World Yoga Day, academy staff and officer Trainees practiced various yogic asanas under the direction of instructor Ayanbrina Sarma.
During the initial days of our training, a four-day short course on yoga, meditation and wellness was organized from 14.12.2022 to 17.12.2022 at CASFOS, Burnihat for the newly joined Officer Trainees of the 2022-24 SFS Induction course. We benefited a lot from that course.
By the way, yoga is a regular part of our training, Our day begins with an hour-long Physical Training (PT) and yoga session. Our day starts with one hour PT and yoga session but on a big occasion like World Yoga Day and that too doing yoga with all the staff members of the academy is a different kind of experience. The tradition of organizing important national and international days in the academy has given a status of perfection to our training. As aspiring forest officers, undoubtedly by organizing such programs here and learning something new, we will be able to successfully raise awareness among people about social issues and environmental concerns in the future by organizing such events ourselves.
