Conventionally, India has always been known for focusing a lot on education and also the stress is more on conventional educational programs such as engineering, medicine, chartered accountancy, banking etc.but the last few years has shown a significant change not just in the educational market but also in the mindset of students who have begun to think independently.

As a result, they are opting for courses of their choice and are very clear on their career path. With this, new avenues have cropped up and notable among them are Media, Entertainment, Fashion, Sports and others. While these are more frontline professions, two more streams are picking up in India. They are Yoga and Indian philosophy. Apparently, these two streams were considered to be subjects which were taken for self-improvement and passion sake but never as a means for livelihood and a proper career.

Those who are already pursuing the courses are mentioning that they are able to pursue courses such as instructors, project guides, academicians and private setups. And to those who are looking at overseas placements tend to find a good prospect for employment. On the personal front these courses also work for self-betterment and clarity of thought. An overall development of professional and personal perspective is attained this way.

However, the awareness on the potential of Yoga and philosophy is still not done in the maximum in India. Also, there are not many professional and experienced institutions which offer these courses. But these courses are more suitable to those who are passionate and have the right aptitude towards both streams. There is innovation and offbeat flavour in these subjects but they sure are viable options to take up.
