Vijayi Bharat Foundation & CCRYN sign first of its kind MOU to unite and transform athlete development through Yoga & Naturopathy
New Delhi/Ahmedabad, 6th October 2025
In first-of-its-kind collaboration for Indian sports, the Central Council for Research in Yoga & Naturopathy (CCRYN), under the Ministry of AYUSH, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Vijayi Bharat Foundation (VBF) to pioneer evidence-based research in Sports Science, Sports Medicine, and Integrative Medicine at their High-Performance sports Centre (HPC) in Ahmedabad.
With this collaboration CCRN and VBF aim to blend modern athletic training with India’s ancient wellness practices—Yoga and Naturopathy—ushering in a new era of holistic performance enhancement. The unique initiative will integrate traditional practices into structured athlete development programs, positioning India’s scientific heritage on the global stage.
The partnership will initially focus on four Olympic disciplines where India shows strong promise: Archery, Fencing, Judo, and Shooting. By merging cutting-edge sports science with time-tested wellness techniques, the alliance seeks to elevate athlete resilience, recovery, and peak performance.
With eyes set on the LA28 and Brisbane Olympics in 2032, the collaboration aspires to propel Indian athletes towards new standards for excellence in international arenas.
