Feedback

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Indian Yoga Association and its team members for giving me this opportunity and platform to be the Master Trainer and conduct the training session and prepare the trainers to be a master trainer for future trainers. The 5-day session was a quite a unique approach.

It is an excellent platform to interact with trainers who were well knowledgeable and experienced in their own fields. I feel proud to be trusted by IYA to fulfil such a huge responsibility of training.
IYA is playing a very noble role in health care sector for the cause of upliftment and employment generation of the youth of our country.

I would also like to thank Shri Neeraj from IYA for his wonderful coordination between trainers and the Master trainers. Without you it would not have been possible. Thanks for your patience for answering all the doubts and queries. Hats off to the excellent team of IYA, for the proper execution and coordination with HSSC team members for this excellent training sessions.

Smt Bandana Singh

I am thankful to the Indian Yoga Association (IYA) and the Health Sector Skill Council (HSSC) for organising the Train the Master Trainer program. We learnt a lot about various initiatives of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Government of India to empower the youth of the Nation through vocational skill training courses. Particularly, I liked the well-structured evaluation model Occupational Standards (OS) & Qualifications Pack (QP) – for Yoga Therapy Assistant. All the sessions were interactive and we had many opportunities to ask questions and talk about real-life examples. The IYA team supported and guided us throughout the program.

-Shri Sushant Bharat Singh

As a master trainer, awareness of the aims and objectives of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship is essential which may help in training. I am proud to be part of this programme under the Government of India.

IYA’s initiation on creating job opportunities with the Yoga Therapy Assistant programme in collaboration with HSSC is appreciable. Awareness of Skill India activities and objectives and implementation of Yoga Therapy Assistant programme provided in the session are indeed valuable and I am happy to acknowledge it.
