The Directorate General of Maritime Administration (DGMA) is launching “Sagar Mein Yog” (SMY) to enhance seafarers’ well-being. This initiative includes various wellness modules, such as brahmari, or “bee breath,” promoting relaxation. Seafarers with a valid Indian Continuous Discharge Certificate must complete the course through a dedicated Learning Management System within a year.
Indian seafarers face numerous challenges at sea, prompting the Directorate General of Shipping to launch the Sagar Mein Yog initiative. This program integrates yoga and mindfulness into their routines, promoting physical and mental wellness. Aimed at enhancing resilience, it aligns with India’s goal to supply 20% of the world’s seafarers by 2030.
The Directorate General of Shipping (DGS) and the National Union of Seafarers of India (NUSI) have launched the innovative program “Sagar Mein Yog – Complete wellness at sea” to prioritize the welfare of Indian seafarers. This initiative integrates yoga and holistic wellness practices to address the unique challenges faced by seafarers on extended voyages.
