        abstract = {The issue of occupational stress in police officers has become a significant societal and organizational issue because it is closely linked with mental distress, heart diseases, and inefficiency at work. Delhi NCR police officers are regularly faced with job demands, irregular working hours, traumatic events, administrative stress which increase the stress levels significantly and predisposes to health-related issues like anxiety and high blood pressure. In this regard, the current study is conducted to address the effectiveness of yogic interventions as a holistic stress management approach among police officers. Its main goals are to evaluate the baseline stress levels, and the second goal is to evaluate how the specific structured yogic practices can help to improve psychological health and resilience. The research methodology embraced is qualitative approach and descriptive and analytical study based on secondary data through peer reviewed journals, government publications, and empirical study. The study incorporates the available evidence to indicate that yogic practices such as asanas, pranayama, meditation, relaxation techniques help in decreased perceived stress. The results indicate that well-planned yogic programs may be used as an affordable and long-term measure to deal with professional stress in the police force. The scholar finds that the inclusion of yoga-based wellness interventions in the police training and organizational policies shows a high implication on enhancing mental health, productivity, and occupational health, in general. But empirical generalization is restricted using secondary data.},
