Chairman & Managing Director of Singareni Collieries Company Ltd.,(SCCL)  has taken a special initiative to bring the coal miners into the mammoth yoga programme coinciding with International Yoga Day.  A record number of 50,940 coal miners and some of their family members have joined the yoga programme conducted at Mines & Departments of SCCL spread in 4 districts of Telangana State viz. Adilabad, Warangal, Karimnagar and Khammam.  This is first of its kind in the history of coal industry of the country.  This has been taken up to create health awareness through yoga amongst the employees and their family members on a massive scale. 

It is also a record that nearly 31000 coal miners have participated in a single event from 7 AM to 8 AM organized at operational areas on 21^st June, 2016.  It may be world record for coal miners as no such activity has been recorded in the history of coal mining industry in the entire world.  SCCL is also hopping to get a place in the record books like Guinness / Limca.

The efforts of C&MD  Sri.N.Sridhar, IAS was appreciated by one and all in Govt.  and families of coal miners as health related issues can be addressed through yoga.  His efforts are also specially appreciated for spreading the message of yoga which is a priority of  the Day.
